A new enemy, a savage battlefield, a devastating loss... Dicken Quinney proved himself as a brilliant and heroic pilot in World War One, saving the lives of his fellow RAF servicemen, and winning a slew of medals. It is now the near aftermath of the Great War, and Dicken is engaged in an ongoing dogfight over the Baltic states with Bolshevik fighters, during the Russian Revolution. He must use everything he has learned in his formative years in order to survive, and will be forced to overcome a terrible loss that threatens to destroy him.

The second novel depicts British air involvement around the Baltic during the Russian Civil War. Its setting captures the confused military geography created by revolution, national independence movements and foreign intervention after 1918.
