An Angry Sky: A Novel of the Phoney War

In 1939, the Phoney War brought a reprieve, a chance to keep the storm at bay and a faint hope for a negotiated peace. It is a time of secrets and of threats. But, in only months, the Second World War became all too real. Loyalties at the national and personal level will face the ultimate test. An intelligence veteran deals with the enemy to save an agent and find a last chance for love. The staff of a small Canadian news agency witness the Fall of France, the Blitz in London and the danger of a North Atlantic convoy while struggling with what they can and can’t report. A young woman copes with a war time disaster. German officers question the Nazi leadership. An American rejects neutrality and joins the British Commonwealth Air Training Program while his friend works with the isolationist, America First. Their stories weave across the years to bring an era to life. An Angry Sky is based on events in Canada, Britain, Europe and the United States in the anxious years between 1939 and 1942.
