About this listen

London is burning. The Luftwaffe is coming. And Trip Gibson is in the fight of his life.

From the award-winning author of the bestselling Journeyman Chronicles of the American Revolution and Sunward I’ve Climbed comes Frank A. Mason’s unforgettable sequel—a visceral, emotionally charged novel set in the fury of the Battle of Britain.

It’s 1940. American pilot Trip Gibson has joined the Royal Air Force, determined to stop Hitler’s war machine from leveling Britain. But flying for King and Country turns out to be far more brutal than he imagined. In the chaos of dogfights over London and the smoking ruins below, Trip must confront the terror of constant combat and the brutal truth that skill alone won’t keep him alive.

Every mission leaves scars. Every downed friend chips away at his soul. And when the bombs start falling too close to the people he’s come to care about, Trip realizes this war isn’t just about nations - it’s personal.

Can he stay sharp enough to survive? Or will the shouting wind of battle silence him for good?

A powerful World War II aviation epic perfect for fans of Flyboys, Band of Brothers, and Master of the Air.

This is a great story told well by author Frank Mason. I will definitely read more by this author. I will never buy an audio book that is narrated by "Virtual Voice" again.

This is the second in the Sunlit Silence series, which focuses on an American pilot flying for the RAF during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. I'm not sure if there is a 3rd book in this series. This book is offered free to Audible clients. The story is good, but there are a few negatives, for me at least. I hated how the author used a downing in the Channel and a rescue by a fisherman and his daughter, for the protagonist, Trip, to recap the first book. It was a waste of my time, to be retold what I had just spent hours listening to. Another downside for me is that the protagonist is so dang perfect. What I dislike the most, though, is the AI narrator. The phrasing is terrible. The AI narrator does a complete injustice to pronouncing acronyms and technical terms, often making it difficult, to understand what is being said. I really got tired of hearing 'Jew'-87, 'Jew'-88, and 'Doe'-17. With those negatives out of the way, I have enjoyed the story, as it does a pretty nice job of giving the readers a feel for the airwar over Britain. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the RAF, and the Battle of Britain and the Blitz.

Good Story, Lame Presentation.
