Four Americans—a twenty-year-old social outcast, a breezily iconoclastic Army officer, a ruthless U.S. senator, and a guilt-ridden heiress—are inexorably drawn together in their struggles to deal with America's chaotic involvement in World War I. Their interwoven destinies lead from poverty-stricken slums through the opulence of 1917–1918 Washington, London, and Paris and, climactically, into the Western Front's vicious aerial combat, which establishes the matrix for all air warfare to come.

      When the German-American youth John King pulls an aviator out of a plane's wreckage, he forms a friendship that will eventually find him flying in Europe during WWI. There's exciting action in the air, to be sure, but Paul Michael Garcia concentrates on the character drama, evolving the voice of John King from that of a thoughtful youth to that of a tortured soul as the war takes its toll on his mind and spirit. Garcia also makes real the corruption and sadness surrounding the wealthy and powerful people who enter King's life as he becomes a hero. Garcia draws listeners into King's tragic life and sets them up for a powerful ending. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
