Lightning Sky

Praise for R.C. George's Lightning Sky A glowing reminder that some things in life are worth fighting for. -Marcus Brotherton, New York Times bestselling author of We Who Are Alive & Remain, A Company of Heroes and Shifty's War This is how history should be written-in vivid detail and with all the emotion of the best-told stories. Fans of Flyboys and Unbroken should push this book to the top of their reading list. -John Gilstrap, New York Times bestselling author of Scorpion Strike and the Jonathan Grave thriller series A suspenseful masterpiece-a heart-tugging page-turner every bit as captivating as Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken and Erik Larson's Dead Wake. -Denise George, bestselling author of The Secret Holocaust Diaries, Behind Nazi Lines and Orchestra of Exiles Impossible to put down. Gifted author R. C. George has created a page-turning narrative peppered with meticulously-researched, elevating historical insights that demonstrate true command of the subject matter. Bravo! -Robert Child, Emmy-nominated screenwriter, director, and author of The Lost Eleven You will be inspired . . . you will mourn a greatness that has all but passed. In four or five years they will all be gone; the words of soldiers like this one, our only hope of holding onto them. -Ken Gire, New York Times bestselling collaborator for All the Gallant Men The research is meticulous and the tale is well written, almost like a novel. It is optimistic and realistic, both funny and sad. A wonderful retelling of an individual story of World War II that combines the universal bond between parent and child and a war story. VERDICT: Highly recommended for any listener interested in war, family, or just a good story. -Library Journal on the audio edition
