It is February of 1939. International tensions are at an
all-time high, and there is little trust in Germany's new leader as
Ian Mackay, a decorated Royal Flying Corps ace of the Great War,
settles atop the mountain of Ben Lomond to watch the sunrise. A
short time later, Ian observes what he believes is an experimental
German reconnaissance airplane spying on Scotland from above. But
there are no other witnesses, and the rudimentary radar of the day
is unreliable.
Ian has seen his share of hardship and unfortunately knows all
too well about the realities of war. Still, he is driven to report
what he has seen to Scotland's military intelligence officials;
they are skeptical at first but eventually agree to send Ian on an
intelligence mission to investigate the latest German
reconnaissance aircraft. As the war clouds gather, Ian, who is now
alone at forty-two after losing his one and only love years ago,
embarks on a perilous journey to save his country and perhaps the
world. With a cyanide capsule safely tucked away in his pocket, Ian
only hopes he will never have to use it.
In this spirited tale of love and war that spans twenty-five
years of modern European history and four generations of Scots, a
seasoned pilot enters Nazi Germany on a wing and a prayer as the
world erupts into chaos.
