Happy to announce that Castles in The Sky, a WWII novel set during the air war over Europe, is now available for pre-order!
From every corner of America, they crossed the Atlantic to destroy the Nazi war machine on its own turf: the B-17 bomber crews flying bloody bombing missions over northern Europe. On March 6, 1944, General Doolittle launched a massive operation he believed would change the air war. The largest air armada the Eighth Army Air Force had ever launched. The first full-scale daylight bombing of Berlin, capital of the Third Reich.
This horrifying battle would become known by the men who survived it as Black Monday.
From the author of Hell’s Eden, Strike, and the bestselling Crash Dive and Armorseries, Castles in The Sky tells the story of one such Flying Fortress crew. It’s a story of courage and grit in the face of impossible odds and the search for meaning in the madness of war. The 250th mission of the Eighth Army Air Force and the last for Pop’s Flying Circus.
The book releases April 28, 2025 and will be available in Kindle eBook, audiobook, and trade paperback.
Check it out here. Thanks for reading!
This is an excellent book. The trials of men in combat, doing their duty, even though the odds of completing a tour were daunting! As an old combat pilot, I felt the fear and mental anguish of the crew. I never could have endured what so many brave young new did on those long perilous flights across a landscape of horrors. The fighters, the flak, and the weather all conspired to kill the liberators of Europe. Thank God, we had the heroes when the free world needed them!
I think the story is well written and has enough historical data to be truthful, without getting bogged in minutia. I enjoyed it immensely, although it had my palms sweating many times. I would love more , perhaps a longer novel with more characters and development.. I know that I would buy it.
I have read all your war books and really enjoyed the, “Crash Dive” series.
Please keep writing and help to educate the youth of the world with these stories of war and it’s many terrors.
Thanks for reading my stuff, Larry! I really enjoyed all writing that one. The terror those men felt (but couldn’t show) every time they took off must have been astounding. I loved doing the research for this one.
I’ll have at least one more WW2 release coming out this year, so stay tuned!
