Night Raiders

By Richard Townsend Bickers

France, 1918. The British Royal Flying Corps are sending their bombers deep into Germany, via bases in France, to target enemy railways and factories. Major Eric Yardley and his team are experimenting with an innovative, yet highly dangerous, mission. Night bombing. Facing navigation difficulties, unpredictable weather and German reinforcements, Yardley must prove the new technique can work. Then he is shot down behind enemy lines and hunted… In Germany, Ilse Nauroth spends all her days maintaining the family homestead while dreaming of a greater life. Until, that is, the night bombing starts…and strikes fear into the residents of her town. Saved from a brutal attack by the stranded bomber pilot, an unlikely romance begins. Can Ilse hide Yardley from the searching German troops? Can Yardley return to his squadron without endangering Ilse? And can they have a future together after the war?
