註釋TEETH is an unforgettable adventure story, set in a real time and place, against the backdrop of profound world events. - July, 1945, the Stone Age Island of New Guinea. WW2 still rages in the South Pacific. Sniper Johnny Willman is only 20, but a veteran of General MacArthur's jungle battles. Recovered after being shot, he desperately wants to rejoin the US Army for the invasion of Japan. But first he must he survive "Operation Teeth," a rescue mission into the island's own heart of darkness. There, Johnny confronts "the Father," a 30-foot crocodile and the largest reptile on Earth. Johnny, his Australian sidekick Footy, and their Japanese prisoner, run from it directly towards the most bloodthirsty cannibal headhunters on the island. Johnny hates the Japanese for good reason, but as America abruptly ends the war with the atom bomb, can he and his mortal enemy find peace, and even friendship? Gwyn, the nurse who saved Johnny's life, waits in Port Moresby. To meet her challenge to find his heart, the tough soldier must complete an inner odyssey as perilous and profound as the physical one.
