Synopsis
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize
Robinson’s masterly and grimly humourous novel of the war in the air over the Western Front in 1918
World War One aviators were more than just soldiers – they were the knights of the sky, and press and public alike idolised the gallant young heroes. But for Stanley Woolley, commanding officer of Goshawk Squadron, the romance of chivalry in the clouds is bunk. There are two kinds of men up there: victims and murderers. The code he drums into his men bars any notion of sport or fair play – and his unpopular method works. But even with this training, Woolley believes that the whole squadron will be dead within three months.

As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
