Fata Morganathe epic novel of love and duty at war across the reach of time.
At the height of the air war in Europe, Captain Joe Farley and the baseball-loving, wisecracking crew of the B-17 Flying Fortress Fata Morgana are in the middle of a harrowing bombing mission over East Germany when everything goes sideways. The bombs are still falling and flak is still exploding all around the 20-ton bomber as it is knocked like a bathtub duck into another world.
Suddenly stranded with the final outcasts of a desolated world, Captain Farley navigates a maze of treachery and wonderand finds a love seemingly decreed by fateas his bomber becomes a pawn in a centuries-old conflict between remnants of advanced but decaying civilizations. Caught among these bitter enemies, a vast power that has brought them here for its own purposes, and a terrifying living weapon bent on their destruction, the crew must use every bit of their formidable inventiveness and courage to survive.
With Fata Morgana, Steven Boyett and Ken Mitchroney have created a work that defies categorization, unless that category is engrossing, brilliant story-telling. They breathe life into the past and the future, in a book that manages to be both thought-provoking and thrilling. I loved it! -Jan Burke, New York Times best-selling author of Bones and The Messenger
Gripping adventure stuff: a perfect updating of a classic mode of science fictional storytelling, modernized without losing any of the charm of those old, glorious war novels.
-Cory Doctorow, New York Times best-selling author of Walkaway
