Synopsis

Don't miss this thrilling wartime adventure! For fans of Derek Robinson, James Holland, Frank Barnard, and Jack Higgins.

Jox is exchanging civilian life for the thrill of fighting in the skies.

Scotland, 1939

When Jox McNabb is expelled from school he is forced to look to his future. Inspired by the sight of a Hurricane flying over him, he becomes determined to join the RAF. And after basic training, Jox is posted to RAF Montrose with the growing group of other recruits he has met along the way.

Battling the bleak Scottish elements and finding themselves immediately thrown in at the deep end, the lads struggle to keep up with the training.

Many are deemed unfit for service, and after tragedy strikes, Jox questions if he's got what it takes.

Can Jox earn his wings to face Blitzkrieg and defend his country in its hour of need? Does he have the courage and skill to become one of The Few? Will he beat the odds to survive his first battle?

About Patrick Larsimont

Patrick Larsimont worked in advertising for many years with some of the most globally recognized agencies and brands. He'd go as far as saying that he doubts there is anyone in the United Kingdom that hasn't seen some of his work. Before that, he served in military intelligence, was educated in Scotland, and now describes himself as a Dorset Highlander. He is the mixed heritage son of two diplomats and as a result has lived in over twenty countries around the world.

Patrick has always been fascinated by history, particularly military history, and spurred on by the time on his hands during two lockdowns, he took to writing stories. To date, he has completed two stand-alone supernatural historical novels, one about past lives and the other about the ghosts haunting a military cemetery. The latter was long listed for the inaugural Morley Prize for unpublished authors of color.
