Volume One of The Greatest Game Light Novel Series. 1934, the Great War enters its twentieth year. The Weimar Republic of Germany has managed to secure a separate peace with many of its foes, after walking out of the Versailles Treaty fifteen years earlier, but Britain and France remain determined to bring Germany to heel. In the face of foes devoted to the destruction of their nation, Germany has been forced to use every resource. Teenage men and women, children born under the shadow of war, now take up the same cause of their parents. For most the war is a dirty grimy conflict fought in bunkers and trenches, but for a select few the War is the Greatest Game. Most see it as a sport fought by gentleman in the air, the knights of the sky, but they don't understand. Up there, the war is more personal. To bring a plane down, one man must shoot another or destroy the machine that keeps him aloft. There are no radios, there is no quarter, and there is no mercy. There are only hunters and the hunted. Erik Weissmann spent his youth looking up at the skies as fighter planes swept after each other. Now he is learning to become one of them while a new threat rises in the East. The question remains, will he be a hunter, or the hunted? 44,000 words, Rated M (Not suitable for children or teens below the age of 16 with non-explicit suggestive adult themes, references to some violence, or coarse language.)
