Robert Radcliffe writes: "In 2000 I began work on what would become a trilogy of books about World War II. Loosely set in 1943, the novels would feature some overlapping characters and locations, yet tell the stories of three very different aspects of the conflict: the air war over Europe, the Battle of the Atlantic, and the fall of Singapore and subsequent treatment of prisoners in the jungles of Thailand."
