The Daedalus Quartet #4
Sure Recompense
Spring 1943. The war is hurtling towards the defeat of Germany.
The three men have been utterly ravaged by war, almost unrecognisable from their original selves at the beginning of the war.
Each have been changed and shaped by their brutal experiences.
Roger, James and Christopher face excruciating battle both in the air and on the ground.
They’re risking everything, and their comrade Laurent’s own children are subjected to torment and torture and he sets out to rescue them.
But this leaves Roger with his wife Viviane, who he cannot help but fall deeply in love with.
The three men are separated and before long, they begin to fear the others are dead.
When James disappears from contact and Roger is hit in battle, their futures look bleak.
Will they all make it through this deathly spring of war?
Will Roger find his happy ending with Viviane?
The three men must face a road of true peril and can only hope they make it to the other side.
‘The Sure Recompense’ is the final volume of the Daedalus quartet about three young R.A.F. pilots. The other titles in the series are 'The Gifts of Jove', 'Time for Haste' and 'Too Late the Morrow'.

Brilliant series
My only regret is that there are not more books to carry the story through to 1945 and beyond. Loved it

The storyline might be very good, but only if you read the hardband. The ebook (obviously an OCR version) is so full of errors that it was hell to read.
