'The story focuses on love, trust, and sacrifice, against a
backdrop of the cruelty of war' STEVE JOHNSON As a quaint old
Norman church bathed in the late morning sunshine, a young bride
waits anxiously for her groom. Anna, a German of Roma origin is
stepping into a new life in London. She will finally escape the
horrors of her past. When Anna flees the death camps of 1930s
Germany to England, she is relieved. But events in her adopted
homeland throw her best-laid plans in disarray. This is her story.
It's a story about hope and heartbreak, love and hate, anger and
confusion, blind prejudice and intolerance, and even redemption.
Sam Martin's gritty prose tells a sensitive story. Seamlessly, he
gives a well-rounded view of the war on the home front; its
claustrophobic, tense atmosphere, the prevailing opinions of the
day, and the seismic decisions taken by those in power. Just hope
what happens to Anna, never happens to you.

'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines meets Le Mans.
Hugely entertaining. And deadly serious' Rowland White, Author of
Vulcan 607 It was the greatest international competition of its day
- a thrilling, globe-trotting, high speed air racing series that
married cutting-edge technology with astonishing skill, bravery and
danger. Duelling at 400 mph just a few feet from sea surface left
pilots little margin for error. For over a decade, as aircraft of
Great Britain, the United States, France and Italy fought for the
prize, the Schneider Trophy represented the pinnacle of aviation
development. A succession of world records fell to machines that
combined super-charged brute power with streamlined good looks.
With the RAF's Supermarine S6B, legendary aircraft designer R.J
Mitchell, honed the genius that produced the Spitfire, while
Rolls-Royce advanced the state-of-the-art with a powerful V-12
engine that paved the way for its war-winning masterpiece, the
Merlin.
