"Winds of Fortune" is the second volume of "The Java Gold", a multipart series describing the quest for a load of pure gold that went missing just after the outbreak of the Pacific War.
It is early 1948. The war is over but there is no peace in Southeast Asia. Nations fiercely resist the return of their former colonial masters. Their struggle for independence causes a groundswell of violence, betrayal, and murder that enmeshes the survivors of the gold flight. Yearning for a normal life, they independently of each other attempt to retrieve the lost gold. But they are pursued by dangerous enemies that are now on the trail of the gold and they suffer misfortune and disillusion. The story takes the reader from the emerald-green Indonesian islands to romance and tragedy in colonial Kenya. From post-war Italy to violent action in French Indochina. And to questionable airplanes, owned by dubious companies, that ferry European migrants into Australia and sneak out of its barren outback, loaded with smuggled gold...
