Helden van de Pacific #1

Two Allied aviators ride an open-cockpit biplane low over a lush Pacific island chain while a Japanese fighter closes in from above, tracer fire slicing through the vivid blue sky — Alberto Lingua's cover crackles with the tension of aerial combat in the Solomon Islands theater. Writer Pierre Veys sets the stage for this first chapter, "Het Salomonsoordeel," plunging readers straight into the dangerous skies of the Second World War's Pacific campaign. If dogfights, island backdrops, and high-stakes aviation adventure are your thing, this 2021 opener from Daedalus is a fine place to start.
