Fuhrer's Gold

Major James S. Miller, United States Army Air Force, becomes America's first ace during the Pearl Harbor attack but suffers a demoralizing setback, consequently affecting his personal life and career. Oberstleutnant Axel Voss is the German Luftwaffe's leading ace with a reputation for impatience toward cowardice and complacency. Ego, ruthlessness, and his arrogant disdain for regulations sabotage any opportunity to satisfy his lust to fly and kill. A small command is arranged for Miller on the Liberian coast-a final opportunity to redeem himself. Assigned to hunt for German U-boats, the new 231st Squadron is left with an abandoned airfield and derelict aircraft. Despite its apparent insignificance, surprisingly the talented airmen rebuild everything from meager resources. Voss is sent to a secret base with pristine aircraft, no discipline or regimen, and access to uncharacteristic personal amenities. Enjoying the rest of the war in leisure, Voss takes to the skies-bathing himself in the euphoria of flight. The aces meet in flight and engage in adrenaline-filled, heart-stopping combat. Now discovered, Voss must protect the secret, while Miller must discover it. A gripping, yet heartwarming tale of commitment, courage, and raw nerve will leave the reader spellbound to the end.Shinavier, Michael R. is the author of 'Fuhrer's Gold' with ISBN 9781931195232 and ISBN 1931195234.
