Description

A young woman with the fate of a nation in her hands. An aircraft designed by science, fueled by magic and flown with passion. A World War re-imagined like never before. In 1942, an unlikely heroine changes the course of history. On the eve of invasion by the Nazis, twenty-two year old RAF pilot Veronica 'Ronnie' Somerset is fighting another battle - winning respect within the stuffy, male-dominated British military. She's feisty and brash and determined to overcome every obstacle to become Britain's first female combat pilot. When Ronnie is re-assigned to Enysfarne, a mysterious Royal Navy base off the coast of Cornwall, fate places her inside the cockpit of the most revolutionary aircraft ever invented. Brilliant engineer, Dr. Nigel Pennbridge has discovered quadra-hydrogen, an element that powers the DragonFly, a remarkable fighter-bomber that carries the hopes of Britain on its blue and silver wings. Across the English Channel, Reichsführer Bernhardt Morax, Hitler's personal sorcerer prepares his army of Blutskriegers for the invasion of Britain. The Blutskriegers are bio-mechanical warriors created by a Nazi occult science whose dark secrets cross the boundaries of evil. Both the Kindle and print editions of DragonFly contain illustrations that make the action jump off the page, including character dossiers, historical 'retrographs' and fantastic designs of retro-futuristic aircraft. (sixty illustrations in the Kindle edition, thirty-three in the print edition). Strap yourself in for a wild five star ride as award-winning author Charles A. Cornell takes you on his science fiction/fantasy adventure, DragonFly set in an alternative World War Two. Visit www.DragonFly-Novels.com for web exclusive illustrations and additional background on the Missions of the DragonFly Squadron. "The thrilling climax... outdoes any big action flick for sheer sweep and menace. Cornell hits a home run!" - Ken Pelham, award winning author of the mysteries, 'Brigand's Key' and 'Place of Fear'. "There is a lot to like about Dragonfly... surprises... intrigue... in a world that doesn't particularly follow the history that we know." - Bard Constantine, author of 'The Troubleshooter' series and 'Silent Empire', dieselpunk novels. "It was fantastic... Charles has done a wonderful job blending alternate history with the mystical. His characters are well developed. I was disappointed when it ended." - John Charles Miller, award winning short story writer and author of the alternative history novel, 'Citrus White Gold'. "Is the golden age of science fiction dead? More likely, we've entered a new Golden Age. Charles A. Cornell delivers a classic example of where 21st century science fiction is heading... Cornell doesn't just put his protagonist up a tree and shoot at her; he puts her in the midst of machine-gun fire, rockets' red glare, and bombs bursting in air. Before Ronnie has time to locate all the dials and buttons on her first test flight, she's in a dogfight with the Germans. And you won't believe what they're flying! Mysteries in this novel could keep book club members talking for weeks. Or years." - Carol Kean, Book Critic, Perihelion Science Fiction Magazine
