"Bridges That Stand" is a novel not to be missed. In this exciting,
and poignant tale, the reader is jarred by scenes of terror and
violence, then views tenderness as young lovers seek answers to the
meaning of life and death. Early air combat scenes reveal the
skills of the fliers. But the reader soon recognizes that these
young men, barely out of their teens, are not prepared to be
conquerors. Marshall Sunder, the Bombardier of a B-26 Medium
Bomber, and a widowed German maid, Kristine, fall in love. She
learns that he is responsible for destroying the Bad Scheidel
Bridge, causing the death of her daughter and mother. Rejected,
Marshall is further depressed by fatal accidents and brutal
vengeance. Transferred home, Marshall meets a war widow, Eileen, in
San Francisco. They commiserate, become lovers, enjoy uninhibited
sex, and continue to communicate. At home Marshall mourns the death
of Kristine's child and mother, attempting to cope with his burden:
breaking the Tenth Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Kill. Visited by a
crewmember, Marshall is stunned by revelations of occurrences at
Bad Scheidel. He returns to Active Duty, and is sent back to
Germany. An astonishing conclusion will enthrall the reader.
