Publisher's Synopsis
They had read the sagas of Vikings, Romans and Greeks. Fresh-faced descendants of Scots and Pics, Standish and Crockett. Now they were pilots and their battlefield was the sky, and fear, and an earthly Venus. They were reluctant combatants of bullet and bomb, passion and love. Their arena spread from un-marked battlegrounds in the sky to the pastoral realm of ale and tea. Two pilots and a nurse emerge from the smoke of battle in 1943 to engage in a contest of the heart. To find the power of love and a future was as real as any battle zone. But the final arbiter was World War 2. It stood in judgment as the final decision maker.
