Ever since he was a small boy Martin has been obsessed with flight - and more particularly with the story of his grandfather Frank, a Jewish American who came to England to fly fighters with the RAF and went on to become a legendary bomber pilot. But having lived all his life in his grandfather's heroic shadow, Martin now finds himself caught up in his own struggle with the powers of darkness. A break-in at the University's physics department yields evidence of a secret government weapons project, and now Martin could be about to crash and burn himself, as he starts to uncover a conspiracy of horrifying ingenuity, a conspiracy which also provides the answer to the mystery of his grandfather's final, fatal flight.
