Book Description
Trapped in an altered reality that is 'off 'bout a quarter-turn to the left,' the members of RFC's 5th Squadron are scattered across war-torn Europe, facing personal crises, seemingly insurmountable challenges, and the viscous otherworldly elemental creatures. The only way out is to find each other and somehow get back to the world they know. But that's easier said than done! What is it they say about frying pans and fire?

Book Description
Check out this back to the past adventure in this special edition. 1915 France. The Great War rages and a new breed of hero takes to the skies. Part bull-terrier, part daredevil, the aces of the Royal Flying Corps' 5th Squadron are Britain's elite. It was an era of counter-intelligence, dogfights, and drinking songs, but that was before the world changed. That was before the Elementals. When a routine mission goes awry, the 5th Squadron finds itself trapped in an unreal world called The Source. Here, giant bat-like creatures dominate the world, keeping the Universe, and all of its parallel realities, in a precarious balance. But despite its serene appearance, it is a violent, predatory land. Trapped along with Germany's greatest flying ace, they all must work together to find a way back home, but the home they left is no longer the world they knew. Never before seen images!
