Description
"Action, loyalty, valor, and blood make Stewart's series kicker in the Knights of the Air series a remarkable historical novel... A sharp and effective blend of WWI aviation action and adventure, a hefty dose of emotion and human drama, plus a dash of romance keep the pages flying. Finely written and vividly imagined, this is a complex, gritty novel delving into the brutalities of war. Stewart is an author to watch." BOOKVIEW GOLD BADGE To survive, Lance Fitch makes the enemy vermin, his friends expendable, and his chivalry more threadbare than a beggar's cloak. As the conflagration of World War 1 spreads around the world, it subsumes Lance. As part of his revenge quest, he joins the British Royal Flying Corps. Arthur Wolsey, his commanding officer, begs him to join 100 Wing - elite pilots tasked with wresting control of the air from Manfred Richthofen's "Flying Circus." The Germans are cutting such a bloody swathe across the skies that the average survival time of an RFC pilot in the air is a mere seventeen hours. Lance and Arthur struggle to stay alive, never mind preserving their Wing and their friendship. The latter is further stressed by Arthur's alluring half-sister, Megan. Lance learns fast, but when Richthofen is the teacher, those lessons are bloody... In Knights of the Air, Book 1: Rage! by Iain Stewart, we experience the terror of mortal combat in the heavens, while flying flimsy, flammable planes without parachutes. Impeccable history from the dawn of military aviation is woven with characters and themes drawn from the Arthurian myths as two enduring legends intertwine, King Arthur meets the Red Baron. ''Knights of the Air'' is Book One of what promises to be a highly enjoyable series and this reviewer, for one, is looking forward to the sequel." HISTORICAL FICTION COMPANY AWARD, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. "If Rage! is any indicator for the rest of the Knights of the Air series, military history buffs better be making some room on their bookshelves now." INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW
