Omschrijving

From the author of the New York Times bestsellers A Higher Call, Spearhead, and Devotion comes Tidal Wave, a sweeping new World War II epic told from both sides of the conflict.

It's summer 1943, and the world is at war.

Lieutenant Ernie Poulson, a 22-year-old outdoorsman from Utah finds himself at the controls of America's most advanced bomber, the B-24, brought to North Africa for a top-secret mission.

On the far side of Europe, Lieutenant Constantin Cantacuzino, a Romanian ace, duels Soviet fighters on the Eastern Front while searching for purpose in an unwinnable war.

In Nazi-aligned Romania, Princess Catherine Caradja walks a perilous line between loyalty to her country and quiet defiance, as German forces fortify the oil refineries in her backyard.

And in the royal palace, 22-year-old King Michael of Romania --mocked and sidelined by a Nazi-backed dictator--plots to seize his nation's destiny before it is lost forever.

In Tidal Wave, Adam Makos brings these seemingly disconnected lives together in a sweeping saga of combat, courage, and survival, set against history's most audacious air raid: the treetop assault on "Hitler's gas station" at Ploesti, Romania. What begins in disaster on August 1, 1943, sparks bonds no one could have foreseen--alliances between enemies--that will decide whether these men and women are destroyed by war, or seize their chance at escape and redemption.

A story long in the shadows, from an untold arena of World War II, Tidal Wave will remind you that humanity can emerge even in the darkest moments of war.
