Summary: In the winter of 1944, Lt. Kenneth Hellman, an ace fighter pilot and leader of a young inexperienced but promising fighter squadron, is shot down on a mission to escort American bombers to their industrial targets inside Nazi Germany. He is captured and interrogated by one of the most ruthless men in the Waffen SS, Oberführer Wolfgang Farber, who instructs his henchmen to extract military secrets from him using any methods necessary. After his eventual transfer to Stalag VIII-b, Hellman exacts revenge by joining forces with an unlikely hero, his German Commandant Wilhelm Braun, clandestine leader of the European Resistance movement and the man Kenneth yearns to have as his life-long partner. But with the Russian Army closing on the camp and Wilhelm’s refusal to follow the German High Command’s orders to set his poorly clothed and emaciated POW’s on a march in the middle of one of the harshest winters on record, they have little choice but to flee the country, their attempt fraught with grand adventures and many close calls with death.

Summary: Nearing the end of WWII, Lt. Benjamin Pope, co-pilot of a B-17 bomber based at Framlingham, England, has fallen hopelessly in love with Captain Milton Sexton, his commanding officer. The two men engage in sexual relations off base, but when Benjamin demands more than casual sex, Milton makes it clear that two men cannot cohabitate together in a committed relationship citing the probable loss of their careers, persecution from the law and alienation by their families. Feeling rejected, Benjamin swears off love to focus all of his energy on his job as a bomber pilot, until his final bombing mission with Captain Sexton ends in disaster over Nazi occupied Holland. After baling out of their crippled bomber, the two young lovers are the only members of a ten-man crew who escape immediate capture by the enemy. But their adversity is just beginning as the brave men and women of the Dutch underground render aid and shelter along the arduous journey from the Dutch-German border to Amsterdam where the plan is to rendezvous with a British submarine that will return them back to England to rejoin the war.

Summary: Coming of age in the 1950’s, Edward Colson is an introverted senior at an all-male boarding school in Norfolk, VA. Edward’s academic brilliance, mild temperance and his suspected attraction for other boys have made him the target of Paul Maxwell and the Broadbent Brothers, a group of bullies, who for the past five years have made it their personal mission to torment and ostracize Edward. As the entire student body and faculty of Norfolk Academy prepares for the school’s annual Halloween carnival, Edward’s tormentors find him alone and more vulnerable than he’s ever been before. But the tables are soon turned when Edward’s big brother, Anthony Colson, a hulking all-American athlete and officer in training at the U.S. Naval Academy, pays an unexpected visit to his old alma mater, catching his little brother’s bullies in the act.
