The continuing story of a young American living as a fugitive on the Isle of St. Margaret's, he has survived the court-martial (“The Flight Lieutenant's Court Martial - Part 2”) and is freed from its burdens in time to resume his duties with the Air Militia on the very eve of Independence. This story follows the island and its people through Independence Day (April 15, 1973) and beyond. Everyone expects all out fighting from the Communist guerrillas to commence as the last strains of the new nation's anthem “O Fair St. Margaret's Island Home” die away at the Mahali…but the days pass without a shot fired. The military cannot detect them and nerves are rubbed raw waiting for them to strike. On a routine flight from New Britain back to the capital, the young man and Lieutenant Colonel Romulus Augustulus Jones (third-in-command of the Militia) spot what looks like a secret base on the island's uninhabited south coast. Efforts by the protagonist to get something done about it meet with frustration…frustration made worse by Jones suddenly denying they saw anything. Convinced there is a Communist somewhere above him in the Government, and that the nation's survival is at stake, the young American risks imprisonment…or worse… seeking outside help.
