Description
War is in the air. In every sense, as the aeronauts of Lauchenland prepare to take their airships aloft against the mighty Beruzil Empire.
It’s the chance for Heino Voss to fulfil his life’s ambition and fly an airship into battle. At his side is his aloof navigator, Saskia von Eck. Soon they realise that war is not a game, and that unquestioning loyalty can take them to some dark places.
Saskia’s brother Erich finds himself fighting for the other side. As the bloodshed and horror mount, he learns there is no place for honour on the battlefield.
As the conflict draws to its grim conclusion, all three realise that the price to pay for victory could be higher than they’re willing to pay. And that, even in wartime, there are fates worse than death…
The start of a breathtaking new series, Bitter Sky explores the price of dreams and the terrible toll war takes on even the most idealistic.
A Note From the Publisher
These days Tim Stretton is a full-time writer, mainly of fantasy and science fiction. He's been published by Tor and Macmillan New Writing, as well as independent ventures.
At other times in my life he's been deputy finance director of a local authority, consultant, trainer, carer, project manager, editor and deckchair attendant. The only conclusion he's drawn from these varied experiences is that the things that paid the least were the most rewarding. Especially the deckchairs.
He also runs his own imprint, BattleCat Press, which is a really handy way of making sure his books stay in print.
