Love soars. Germany, 1945. The Third Reich is on its knees as Allied forces bomb Berlin to break the last resistance. Yet on an airfield near Berlin, the battle is far from over for a young mechanic, Felix, who’s attached to a squadron of fighter pilots. He’s especially attached to fighter ace Baldur Vogt, a man he admires and secretly loves. But there’s no room for love at the end of the world, never mind in Nazi Germany. When Baldur narrowly cheats death, Felix pulls him from his plane, and the pilot makes his riskiest move yet. He takes a few days’ leave to recover, and he takes Felix with him. Away from the pressures of the airfield, their bond deepens, and Baldur shows Felix the kind of brotherhood he’d only ever dreamed of before. But there’s no escaping the war, and when they return, Baldur joins the fray again in the skies over Berlin. As the Allies close in on the airfield where Felix waits for his lover, Baldur must face the truth that he is no longer the only one in mortal danger.

Part of it stems from my tendency to save books I expect to love just in case I need them to pull my o...

Reading for RL book club on 27 March 2015Book club should probably be like this:But chances are it will be more like this:
Un pestaneo. Apenas un respiro. Un lento latido del corazón. Skybound es casi una foto, sobre la que alguien puede reconstruirnos un pedacito de su trasfondo y compartir una de las tantas historias que sostuvieron años de conflictos bélicos absurdos. La pequeña enorme novela es un segundo de variada...
