Back in 1918, the arms dealer James Martingell received a knighthood for equipping and supplying the British Army during the war.
Now it wants to close him down - with the coming of peace there can be no more gun-running.
Poverty is a far from a welcome prospect, so Martingell resumes negotiations with his old friend and ally Sheikh Azam ud-Ranatullah, thereby branding himself a traitor to his country.
Major Richard Elligan is dispatched to bring him down.
But he complicates matters by falling in love with Martingell's daughter, Lanne.
Ignoring all obstacles, Martingell doggedly pursues the one last coup that will make him rich beyond measure.
Trekking across Asia through civil war, betrayal, murder and death, he becomes a figure of grim legend...
‘Shadows in the Sun’ is the second in the Arms of War series focusing on international trade and the weapons of conflict, following ‘The Trade’.
