James Stevenson’s lifelong fascination with aircraft and aerial combat of the Second World War, that first appeared in his debut novel Dartmouth Conspiracy, is revisited with a tale of equal intrigue and suspense in his second novel, Fly the Storm.
But while the details of aircraft and the lives of air personnel during war provides more than enough material to sate the appetites of flying enthusiasts, this novel embraces wider questions about the nature of war and its impact on the lives of show more ordinary people who find themselves at the centre of a conflict not of their making.
