Book Recommendation: A Murky Retreat
6 years ago
For those of you who don't follow him, I'd like to call your attention to the new novel by DaiCymru, "A Murky Retreat." Set against the backdrop of World War II, it follows the tale (or tail) of Pilot Officer Cory Gladstone. This fox is flying a Hawker Hurricane on a mission for the Royal Air Force, when he is forced to bail out over the island of Crete.
DaiCymru has woven an intriguing adventure that held my interest, chapter after chapter. I offered my services to Dai as a proofreader in spite of the fact that I am not a big fan of military stories. But Pilot Officer Gladstone and his supporting cast of characters made this book a true pleasure to read over and over through each revision. It is a thrill for me to see this novel published at last.
Dai has a wonderful gift for describing the environment and populating it with believable characters. It's easy to imagine what it must have been like for the British soldiers serving in Crete at the time of the German invasion. You'll meet Cory and fellow soldiers from both sides of the conflict, as well as ordinary peasants and those who took part in the resistance movement against the Nazis.
"A Murky Retreat" is available in paperback and PDF editions. The novel is supplemented with historical notes, a map of Crete, and a terrific piece of cover art from Red Baron.
