Book I of the Skies of Fire series
He fought his way out of Camden.
Tadeusz “Tuffy” Kowalski is a first-generation Polish American with a boxer’s reflexes and a scholar’s discipline. The U.S. Naval Academy offers him a future far removed from the mob-touched prizefights of his youth. As a Marine fighter pilot in the uneasy calm before World War II, he seems to have outrun his past.
But ambition comes with consequences.
A marriage into a powerful naval family places him under scrutiny. Rumors spread. Loyalties fracture. And as the world tilts toward war in 1941, Tuffy is offered a choice few men would dare accept—one that leads not toward safety, but toward a sky already thick with smoke.
From the streets of Camden to the edge of global conflict, Tail of the Dragon launches the Skies of Fire series with grit, authenticity, and high-altitude tension.
