In 2015, George Anton appeared in the story "Typewriter Man." Now he's part of a collection of interconnected short stories inspired by events (some real, some imagined) of the Second World War. In 1944, as Brooklyn native George Anton serves his country in England, detonating bombs, the top brass realizes he possesses another skill which they need even more: typewriter repair. He is sent to Paris, a city rollicking after its liberation from German occupation, to assist the diplomatic and intelligence corps with their communication needs. In the meantime, he befriends translator Sophie Bellamy, and together they discover a plot which may undermine Allied efforts to conquer Hitler's forces. Other stories in this volume follow Thaman, a Nepalese Ghurka warrior and his carrier pigeon; Cliff, who is taken from his small world in Baltimore and his resourceful young wife Lizzie and transported all the way to Papua New Guinea; haunted Royal Air Force pilot Edward Heatherton, and more.
