Harry goes to the scene of the incident where he learns from the shepherd and his wife what they saw. Harry also notices that the film on the nose of the plane is missing and believes one of the two survivors destroyed it. Soon one of the men confesses to killing his peers, but Harry observes discrepancies in the story, as if he is hiding something. A superior officer tells Harry to back off, but the tenacious officer continues to make inquiries even if it costs him his career. World War II fans will get a feel for the way it was for a Yankee stationed in England during the Big One.
Readers learn that there is quite a difference between allies and friends.
The story moves slowly forward because the authors want their audience to use all five senses to savor the history. The characters are fascinating, noting Harry and his antagonist as the real stars. Bill A. Mesce Jr. and Steven G. Szilagyi have quite a future ahead of them if this historical war tale is any indication of their talent. Comments and suggestions welcome.
