Skullcap

Autor Steven Burgauer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2015

SKULLCAP . . . .indispensable tech or crippling nightmare? . . . .vital appendage or drug-like crutch?

REJUVENATION . . . .gateway to eternal life or doorway to never-ending bondage? . . . .game-changing advance or shackle forged from hardened steel?

SLAVE CAMP #5, DOMTAR PROVINCE, VENUS . . . .final resting place for an expendable drone or launchpad to a new horizon?

ESCAPE TO FREEDOM . . . .impossible dream or the only true reality?

Three planets, three lifetimes. A boy, a man, a slave.

What begins with a future constricted by mind-numbing tentacles ends in a faraway dungeon walled-in by a barrier of writhing jungle. Tech that might have been a source of incalculable power becomes instead a tool that suffocates personal freedom.

Notă biografică

The dangers of flying an open-cockpit WWI aeroplane were many. Flights for Freedom is the exciting story of one brave American flyer - "Petrol" Petronas of the 17th Aero Squadron - as he learns to master the undisciplined two-winged fighter called a Sopwith Camel.Shot down over France during the course of a bruising air battle, Petrol is then shuttled from safehouse to safehouse by a beautiful yet defiant woman of the Dutch Resistance.In the background is the poppy-covered landscape known to us as Flanders Fields, a battlefield choked with dead and dying soldiers. Children, orphaned by the war, find safety with a kindly Catholic priest, who raises carrier pigeons vital to the war effort on the rooftop of his Abbey. Every day, his birds carry secret messages to and from the frontlines for Signal Corps.Life-threatening challenges lay at every turn.Two thousand volts pulsate through the electrified border fence that separates Holland from Belgium, enough to kill a man. The trick in crossing the border alive is in knowing who to bribe and how much to pay. Otherwise, there is no way for a downed American flyer to get safely across the heavily patrolled border into Holland and back to England.Will Petrol make it back to England alive? Will he make it back carrying the top-secret plans for an advanced gunsight that has been smuggled at great risk out of Holland hidden inside an embroidered cotton flour sack?Join the story and find out.Steven Burgauer is the author of two well-known World War Two books, including: Nazi Saboteurs on the Bayou and The Road to War: Duty & Drill, Courage & Capture.
