To Parts Unknown by John Anthony Miller

To Parts Unknown, by John Anthony Miller, is a spy thriller with a dash of romance on the side. This is the third book I have read by Mr. Miller and I loved it as much as the other two. My favorite thing about Mr. Miller’s stories is the descriptive prose. He has a real knack for getting you vested with the characters. Once you combine that with the vivid descriptions of the settings, the exciting plot and great back stories, it makes for a fantastic book.

The story is about George Adams a journalist for the London Times during WWII. He has arrived in Singapore just days before the Japanese invasion. He left the war torn London in an attempt to escape the memories of his deceased wife. He plans to cover the war from Singapore and give his readers a better understanding of the conflict in the South Pacific. Little does he know that he has gone from the frying pan to the fire.

Once in Singapore he meets the enigmatic Thomas Montclair and the beautiful and alluring Lade Jane Carrington Symthe. Each has their own private reasons for being in Singapore at this perilous time. As they work together to escape the Japanese they are forced to rely on each other for their very survival. They barely escape Singapore ahead of the Japanese advance as they start what is to become a nightmarish adventure to safety.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and/or thriller novels. I am already looking forward to Mr. Miller’s next book.

I received a free copy in exchange for my honest review.
