| Lewis Allen Lambert, Novelist | |
History is never fully appreciated until a great novelist writes about it. Herman Wouk accomplished this with his sweeping epic of World War II, which began with The Winds of War, and continued in War and Remembrance. Wouk’s epic work stands as the crowning achievement of one of America’s most celebrated storytellers. |
Now Lewis Allen Lambert has joined the ranks of great storytellers with his vivid three volume epic about the war in Europe during World War II. It begins with Michael’s Messengers, followed by Uncommon Warrior, and finally A Son’s Odyssey. Lambert’s spellbinding historical fiction novels offer a side of war not readily found in pure history books. They brilliantly depict how dangerous and terrifying it was for the thousands of young RAF heroes who took to the skies each day knowing it could be their last mission. Lambert’s trilogy captures the lives of Allied fighter pilots as they participate in the Battle of Britain and engage in a five-year duel for air supremacy over the skies of Europe. Through Lambert’s narrative, the reader becomes immersed in the lives of these young men and their romances, fears, heroism, triumphs, and their tragedies. Lambert shines the light on the intrigue and drama of the French Resistance, Britain’s Special Air Service, and Allied Intelligence Operatives as these specialized warriors engage in clandestine missions behind enemy lines. Lambert’s military fiction is storytelling at its best. The many facets of these brave airmen’s lives, both in and out of the cockpit, are an aggregate of the untold stories of thousands of brave men, most never known to anyone but their loved ones and to God. |
