Douglas Henderson

Traces the life cycle of a tree in the late Triassic period and what happens to the tree when a storm overturns it five hundred years later.

Set in the early fifties, this razor-sharp adaptation of the novel by Richard Condon concerns the decorated U.S. Army sergeant Raymond Shaw, who as a prisoner during the Korean War is brainwashed into being a sleeper assassin in a Communist conspiracy, and a fellow POW who slowly uncovers the sinister plot.
