"Richthofen's Knight" is a continuation of David Falash's first book "Emerald Ace" which begins the fictional memoirs of Mick Gallagher, then a 15 year old Irish Orphan with a love of Airplanes, flying, and a passion for Ireland's independence from England. Having inherited an Albatros D.V. Fighter plane and joining the Red Baron's flying circus, he takes part in dog fights, falls behind enemy lines and falls in love. In this sequel we find him in a race against death, having been shot down and captured by British soldiers. Having earned himself the nickname 'Emerald Ace' his identity is now kept secret from all but his best friend and his French girlfriend (Michelle) - the latter whose brother (Pierre) he inadvertently shot down and who may well not survive. As Pierre's life lies in the balance, our hero is headed for a prison camp outside Amiens, from which he must escape if he is to avoid facing execution as a traitor to the Crown. Action packed and loaded from start to finish with thrilling dogfights, narrow escapes and rousing WW1 adventure, this latest offering from this masterful storyteller will have you turning the pages at machine gun speed.
