The plane bucked sideways, flinging Darryl against the cabin wall. It plunged vertically, jolted so hard that his teeth clacked together, then started skidding downwards through the sky. The screams rose to a frenzy. Then Darryl felt the aircraft turning, swinging towards the right. They were heading towards Mururoa. And towards the nuclear bomb waiting there. The bomb due to explode in fifty-seven minutes. It's 1974, and a dark, cold New Zealand winter. So when Darryl's mum announces she is going to the remote Pacific island of Mangareva for work, and she's taking him with her, he is thrilled. But even as Darryl soaks up the warmth and peaceful beauty of French Polynesia, his holiday is darkened by violent anti-nuclear protests. Plus there's Alicia, with her furious outbursts against all Pacific nuclear tests. Darryl knows she's talking rubbish. What he doesn't know is that when he boards Flight 766 to fly home, his life and the lives of others will be changed forever. Also available as an eBook

“From the training camps to the combat missions, this is war from the perspective of the young Americans who lived through it: the pilots, the bombardiers, the navigators, and the gunners of all the combat services in both Europe and in the Pacific. It is an engaging and vivid portrayal of war in the skies from 1941 to 1945.”—Craig L. Symonds, Author of World War II at Sea John C. McManus, author of The Dead and Those About to Die and September Hope, reveals the terror and triumph that shared the fiery skies of World War II—from the first dogfights over Europe to the last Kamikaze attacks over the Pacific. This insightful chronicle takes readers inside the experiences of America’s fighter pilots and bomber crews, an incredible assortment of men who, in nearly four years of warfare all over the globe, suffered over 120,000 casualties with over 40,000 killed. Their stories span the earth into every corner of the combat theaters in both Europe and the Pacific. And the aircraft explored are as varied, tough, and legendary as the men who flew them—from the indomitable heavy-duty warhorse that was the B-17 Flying Fortress to the sleek, lethal P-51 Mustang fighter. In Deadly Sky, master historian John C. McManus goes beyond the familiar tales of aerial heroism, capturing the sights and sounds, the toil and fear, the adrenaline and the pain of the American airmen who faced death with every mission. In this important, thoroughly-researched work, McManus uncovers the true nature of fighting—and dying—in the skies over World War II.

Ashlin had been climbing Mt Timbrini for more than a decade. Scaling the huge, befogged escarpment he liked to gaze down upon the city of Emera glittering below like a thousand multicoloured moons. But when horrifying visions of gaps in the fabric of sky above the mountain began to plague his nights, and the mysterious appearance of a woman on a section of the heights he knew to be unreachable baffled his daytime ascents, his motivation for climbing began to change. He did not realise that his newly motivated enterprise would not bring him peace of mind, but a dire and dangerous battle for the peace of a world!

In the summer 1943, the fledgling American Eighth Air Force is fighting to stay alive as they battle the experienced fighter pilots of Adolph Hitler's Third Reich. Their daylight bombing campaign is proving more accurate than the RAF's night attack, but the staggering losses are taking a toll on men and aircraft, with few surviving a full combat tour. Major Sean McGowan is one of those lucky ones, who then volunteers to return to active combat as the squadron commander of a hard luck outfit. The Deadly Sky tells the story of a group of men who fight each other and the Germans as the bloody air battle rages over the skies of Europe. This life and death conflict is also seen through the eyes of a Luftwaffe wing commander, Lieutenant Colonel Rudolf Steinfeld. After six long years of war, the fighter ace struggles to defend Germany as the war begins to turn against the Nazis. In the fog of war these two men encounter each other, sworn enemies, but both fighting for what they believe is right. --------------------------------------------------- Previous novels available from Amazon.com: DESTINY IN THE PACIFIC THE FLAMES OF DELIVERANCE The Jack Steward Trilogy: THE KING'S COMMANDER A JOURNEY OF HONOR THE FALKENBERG RIDDLE THE WINDS OF BATTLE The Journey of James Addington

What if the events surrounding the mysterious Roswell Incident had nothing to do with extraterrestrials, but everything to do with something far more sinister? An agent with the fledgling Central Intelligence Group, Joseph Miozza is a man whose violent past is destroying his relationship with the girl of his dreams. Called upon to investigate the downing of an airliner in a remote part of South America, Miozza stumbles on a conspiracy with roots deep in the Second World War-a conspiracy whose fanatical leader will stop at nothing to exact revenge on America. Even if it means doing the impossible. Battling the elements in a race across the sky, Miozza and an unlikely ally force a final confrontation in the storm-filled skies over a sleepy New Mexico town-a contest whose subsequent cover-up forms the basis for one of the deepest mysteries of our time.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The airmen who fought in World War II were volunteers, and they were from nearly every town, city, and state in America. They were the sons of the elite, the impoverished, and everyone in between. They all volunteered to fight the war in the air against America’s enemies. #2 The Army General Classification Test, given to all recruits, was a forty-minute written exam designed to measure intelligence and general aptitude. The Air Force received a high proportion of men who scored in Class I or II, while the Army Ground Forces received a high proportion of men who scored in Class V. #3 The American military, like much of society, was segregated in World War II. However, there were a few exceptions to this rule. The majority of combat airmen were white and from middle- and upper-middle-class families. #4 The American military had a well-defined classification process for its future airmen. Anyone entering the air cadet program had to have at least two years of college, but this requirement was waived in 1942.

A vivid social history of the American expatriate experience in Europe between 1939 and 1941, as the Nazi menace brings a shadow over the continent, heralding the storms of war. A poignant and powerful portrait of Europe in the years between 1939 and 1941—as the Nazi menace marches toward the greatest man-made catastrophe the world has ever experienced—Under A Darkening Sky focuses on a diverse group of expatriate Americans. Told through the eyes and observations of these characters caught up in these seismic events, the story unfolds alongside a war that slowly drags a reluctant United States into its violent embrace. This vibrant narrative takes these dramatic personalities and evokes the engagement between Europe and a reluctant America from the September 3rd, 1939—when Britain declares war—through the tragedy of Pearl Harbor in December 1941. In a distinctively energetic storyline, Robert Lyman brings together a wide range of encounters, conversations, and memories. It includes individuals from across the social spectrum, from Josephine Baker to the young Americans who volunteered to fight in the RAF, as part of the famous “Eagle Squadrons.” Hundreds of young Americans—like the aces James Goodison, Art Donahue, and the wealthy playboy Billy Fiske, who was the first American volunteer in the RAF to die in action during the Battle of Britain—smuggled themselves into Canada so that they could volunteer for the cockpits of Spitfires and Hurricanes, as they flew against the deadly Luftwaffe over ever-darkening skies in London.

In 2028, a deadly Flu virus ravages the earth. Only one in two thousand survive the virus, and these "Survivors" are rarely left unaffected. By 2038, only 38 million people remain on Earth. Most of them live in small communities, ever fearful of outsiders who might bring the deadly Flu. Ceej Kane lives with his uncle and his Survivor sister Harryette in an abandoned hotel on the rim of the Grand Canyon. His quiet, boring life suddenly becomes a desperate adventure when Uncle and Harryette disappear. Searching for them, Ceej and his only friend, Tim, are attacked by the Kinka, a renegade band of half-mad Survivors who spread the Flu to make more of their own. Worse yet, it appears that Harryette has joined them. Fleeing deep into the Canyon, a narrow land of ghosts and ancient secrets, Ceej and Tim meet Bella, a mysterious Hopi girl. She has been searching the canyon for the Sipapuni, a mystical portal that the Hopi believe leads to another world. Tim thinks Bella is crazy, but Ceej is not so sure. Maybe there is a way out of this Flu-ravaged world. But first they must find out what happened to Uncle, and they must save Harryette from the Kinka -- if she wants to be saved. As with his earlier novels, Mr. Was and Stone Cold, acclaimed author Pete Hautman pushes the boundaries of young adult fiction. Combining action, science fiction, and spirituality, Hole in the Sky is the rarest of novels: a thrilling page-turner that will make you think.
