Home Fires Burning, A World War Two Alternate History
During the tumultuous days of World War Two, amidst the frenzy of technological innovation, the Nazi regime concocted a chilling Wonder Weapon unlike any other – giant mutant ants the size of steers! In a daring operation, a Nazi submarine covertly released a mating pair of these monstrous insects on Swans Island, Maine.
With a voracious appetite and unchecked reproduction, the ants swiftly established a thriving colony, posing an unprecedented threat to the local residents and the nearby Coast Guard detachment.
The once peaceful island is transformed into a battleground as the human inhabitants valiantly fight for survival against the relentless onslaught of the giant ants, struggling to quell their insatiable hunger and prevent the spread of this Nazi-engineered terror.

"I have always loved the romance of Pan Am’s flying boat era. Hunting the Wind combines the technical feats of the first airliners to cross the world’s oceans with personal recollections of crew and passengers. This book is extensively researched and well written-- a valuable addition to any private collection or library."
The late Walter Boyne, Former Director of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, retired US Air Force officer, Command Pilot, combat veteran, aviation historian, and the author of over 50 books on aviation. "Hunting the Wind is a great tribute to the early pioneers in commercial aviation. Having flown the Pacific many times myself as an modern commercial airline pilot, I have a new respect for flying boat crews thanks to this book. These guys were the real deal who paved the way for future oceanic crossings that we still fly today." Gregg Jump, Commercial Pilot and Captain for a Major US Airline. "Air travel today is fast, efficient and affordable but can be lacking in glamor. Not so in the 1930s and 40s when Pan Am pioneered trans-oceanic flying with their luxurious Clipper flying boats. Hunting the Wind provides a glimpse of that experience. Packed with first-hand accounts and rare photographs -- many previously unpublished -- this book explores those magnificent flying machines, and their daring ocean crossings, reminding you that the journey can be a destination in itself." Captain Doug Worrell, international airline pilot, engineer & author of Dragons of Thin Air - a most unusual fear of flying course. https://dragonsofthinair.com/ |
