I am re-starting work on Book 7, "Madness Ascendant". I posted the new prologue for it yesterday. This is the new chapter 1, which is based on the old parts 1 - 3 but has been polished quite a bit.

This raid was the biggest attack launched against Japanese oil facilities on Sakhalin so far and it was also the first large daylight raid. But no one doubted that the Japanese were waiting for them. "Look sharp everyone, we're getting to within range of Jap fighters" Dan said into the mike, glancing at his co-pilot with a slight nod. And, sure enough, a couple minutes later word ca...
