"Queensland miner, Oliver Woodward, undertrained and never having faced hostile fire before, finds himself on the Western Front leading a secret team of Australian tunnellers fighting to defend a leaking, labyrinthine tunnel system packed with high explosives.

But the German have discovered the Australians' underground activity and as zero hour approaches, the whole allied strategy could be in jeopardy... 'Container. |
