Product Description
Author : A. L. Sowards.
May 1915. After tragedy strikes during the Second Battle of Artois, Frenchman Julian Olivier will do anything to get out of the trenches. So when British Intelligence recruits him to spy behind enemy lines, he jumps at the opportunity. Just before he begins, however, he has a chance encounter with a young French woman who leaves his heart marked for the remainder of the war — even if he doesn't know her name.
Warren Flynn is a Canadian airborne hero, and dogfights with the Germans are all in a day's work. Second only to his love of flying is his fascination with Claire Donovan, the daughter of an American munition manufacturer living in Paris. Warren flies Julian into Germany and soon receives orders to post the Allies' newest operative — an attractive peasant woman named Evette — in Claire's home.
As a dangerous ring of spies and saboteurs threatens to turn the war against the Allies, Julian discovers goodness in his enemies' hearts. But even if he survives, will he ever be reunited with the woman whose memory he can't erase? Will Warren survive the war, and will Evette unearth the infiltrator in her own territory before it's too late?

History and imagination combined to perfection
his WWI historical fiction opened my eyes to a piece of history I wasn’t very familiar with. Yes, I learned about WWI in school, but this book made me feel like I was there…and it wasn’t pretty. I slunk around in the trenches with French soldiers. I soared in rickety fighter planes with a Canadian pilot and watched men and burning planes fall from the sky. I followed spies around and discovered how they sent their secret codes and felt the drama of wondering if they would be caught as the sun rose each new day. I watched in horror as men got gassed and saw what those poisons did to their bodies. I saw the plight of the German people as supplies ran low and they slowly starved in a drawn out war they couldn’t win. Sowards really did her homework and wove a riveting tale with interesting threads of facts that not only fascinated me, but educated me as well. Julian and Evette are the main heroes in this book (their children’s stories are told in previous books like Espionage). Claire, Warren and Howard McDougal also take up a fair amount of the stage as well in this story that captivated my imagination and heart. I highly recommend this one. ***I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
