Each pilot has their own battles to fight alongside the war. Each pilot has a reason to keep fighting… Three young Royal Air Force pilots: one in Fighter Command, his brother in Coastal and their cousin in Bomber. In the midst of WWII, the R.A.F. are valiantly battling to protect the country and eliminate all threats. James, a heavily decorated pilot, is keen to fight for his country. He flies up the ranks and finds himself directing operations from the ground, while wishing to be back in the air. Despite this, he has plenty of worries to battle with. Where is Nicole? Is she even alive? Christopher is eager to get back to the action after being court marshaled. He is delighted to be flying the Beaufighter, but can he prove himself worthy to his navigator and his C.O.? Roger is struggling. He has had his fair share of operations, and is desperate not to return to them. However ashamed of himself he is, he is terrified of being back in the line of fire. Can he prove to his crew that he isn’t cracking under the pressure? In a world filled with mortality, terror and the desire to survive, the three must continue… Bursting with historical fact and authentic detail, * Too Late The Morrow * is the third volume of the Daedalus Quartet, following the wartime lives of these pilots between the summer of 1941 and the spring of 1942. Trial By Fire, Time For Haste and The Sure Recompense complete this thrilling series.
