Opis

What if . . .

What if you woke up and discovered the year was 1928?

The Story . . .

A cosmic accident transports James, an Afghan War vet, and Marianne, a 12-year old schoolgirl, to 1928 Britain.

Struggling to earn a livelihood as an "inventor," James sparks an atomic weapons race between Nazi Germany and the Western Allies that will determine the fate of the world.

Praise for When the Devil Flies:

"During this fast-paced, suspense-filled journey, McGowan fills the story with intriguingly complex details about WWII, Nazi Germany, and life in the 1920s and '30s. . . . In addition to providing an engrossing history lesson, this thought-provoking tale touches on . . . war crimes, and our ever-evolving outlooks on life." "-Kirkus Reviews"
