In 1938 Malaya, a young English boy named Jason Rance rescues Siu Tse, a Chinese girl, from a vicious assault. Their paths diverge before she learns his name, leaving her to idolise the memory of her unknown saviour. Fast forward to 1953, and the height of the Malayan Emergency, where tensions and conflflicts engulf the region. Siu Tse discovers she is pregnant by a British offificer who is planning to join the Malayan Communist Party. In the process of defecting, he is tracked down and killed by British security forces. Misinformed and believing a âJason Ranceâ, now an offificer in a Gurkha batallion, to be responsible, Siu Tse is consumed by a burning desire for vengeance. Unaware of their past connection, she is prepared to join the communist guerrillas to seek her revenge.

In this complex tapestry of loyalty, betrayal and unresolved pasts, the paths of Jason Rance â" saviour or foe â" and Siu Tse â" lover or avenger â" are destined to cross again. Operation Hunter is the ninth in a series of books involving Gurkha military units that may be read in any order. The author, JP Cross, a retired Gurkha colonel, old âjungle handâ and counter-insurgency expert, draws on real events he witnessed during his time fifighting in the Malayan Emergency.
