He hunts by night. But it’s the ghosts of war that won’t let him rest.
From the award-winning author of Sunward I’ve Climbed and The Shouting Wind comes the heart-pounding third novel in Frank A. Mason’s acclaimed Sunlit Silence series - an unflinching portrayal of sacrifice, vengeance, and survival in WWII’s deadliest skies.
Flight Lieutenant Trip Gibson has lost more than comrades. The war has taken friends, lovers, and pieces of his soul. Now flying with the RAF’s elite night fighters, Trip takes to the skies under cover of darkness - haunted, hardened, and hell-bent on revenge.
The Blitz is in full force. London is in flames. When off duty, Trip drowns grief in reckless nights and hollow laughs. By night, he stalks the German bombers leaving the city in ruins. His Bristol Beaufighter becomes a weapon of retribution, and Trip begins to wonder if he’s flying toward redemption or oblivion.
Then comes a mission deep into occupied France… and a revelation that shatters everything he thought he knew about love, loyalty, and Barbara - the woman he couldn’t save.
Can Trip survive the war without losing himself completely? Or will the burning blue of combat consume what’s left of him?
An emotionally gripping WWII aviation novel perfect for fans of Bomber Boys, Hornet Flight, and A Higher Call.
