He’s skilled with his hands, gifted in the fine art of common sense, and capable and clear-headed in times of crisis. Still, King has never thought of himself as much of a hero.

After three years of service, he’s been promoted to army officer, against the growing turmoil of World War II. But when he’s recruited to join a secret squadron just before the Battle of the Bulge, he has no idea he’s been thrust into a deadly situation —thrown from the calm into the storm as he’s shot down on an experimental reconnaissance flight.

Luckily, King has friends in powerful places. The black sheep son of FDR, Elliott Roosevelt has hoped to make a name for himself separate from his family—but is willing to use every bit of influence at his disposal to pull his friend out of harm’s way.

After a surprise attack in the Ardennes leads to explosive results, Elliott and King find themselves encountering unforeseen dangers as they face off against insider political intrigue, vengeful criminals, suspicious military Brass, German soldiers, and enemy spies. They’ve vowed never to leave each other “hanging in the wind,” but in the face of increasing adversity, will they be able to keep their promises?
