Fiction

The passionate love of a beautiful French aristocrat for a courageous South African aviator is begun and extinguished in the blazing skies of war-torn France. But Centaine de Thiry is bent on realizing some of the dreams which she and Michael Courtney has shared—and sets out to seek a future for his unborn child in the country of Michael's birth. But she must first brave all the combined terrors of war, shipwreck, thirst, fever, and the burning vastness of Namibia's Skeleton Coast before she sees another living soul.
