Deep in the jungle, a long-abandoned French colonial fort may be hiding something the Army badly wants to know about. Army linguist Tom Daley learns of it from a Viet Cong defector who describes Chinese and Russian advisers at work there, and Tom is suddenly thrust into the field. Assigned to escort the defector on a patrol with a small reconnaissance unit, he must find the fort near the Cambodian frontier, an area known as the Parrot's Beak. The men who go in are a shaky crew, and their interrogator has never seen combat. What they find inside is nothing like what anyone expected, and it draws them into the path of a North Vietnamese force determined to stop them from getting back to friendly lines.
