Content descriptions

Summary, etc.:
Harry Brigandshaw has it all. A university degree, the world his oyster, a loving family, and the innocence of youth. Until it all unravels... In 1907, Harry is invited to his friend's family home in Dorset to spend the summer holidays. He has time to think about his future, as he delights in the company of the St Clairs. And fifteen-year-old Lucinda St Clair flirts unashamedly with him... But when a gut-wrenching telegram is delivered to Harry, the unthinkable has happened. Reeling from shock, Harry immediately sails for Rhodesia, leaving a heartbroken Lucinda. In Africa, the years pass, and the threat of impending war is of scant importance to the Brigandshaws. However, Harry becomes embroiled when he enlists for revenge. As a raw pilot, and posted to 33 Squadron, he meets an old adversary from university days. The malicious and unhinged Fishy Braithwaite. And because of a love interest, Fishy and Harry become entwined, which will not only threaten Harry's life, but Lucinda's too...
