Jeff Stott is an established and ambitious pilot in the USAF. After a tour in Afghanistan, he is sent on a liaison posting at Marsby Air Force Base in Norfolk, England. Whilst stationed there, he is grounded after an inexplicable crash in a multi-million pound European Tornado aircraft. Jeff spends some of his enforced Rest and Recuperation time visiting his RAF navigator friend, 'English' who has a home in Norfolk. During this time, Jeff meets and starts to fall for the enigmatic Rachel. However, when Jeff attempts to meet Rachel for a second time, events unfold in a way he could never have imagined possible. Jeff's search for Rachel takes him down a road of bizarre happenings whereby he starts to question his own sanity. The plot trades on the precarious nature of fate. It is constructed around a 'What If' scenario which will appeal to anyone who muses on life's turning points. The story blends what is, what was, what might have been and, most significantly, what has to be. The novel blends trains, planes and automobiles with romance, mystery and adventure. There is also a liberal sprinkling of humour to enhance the plot.
