Convergence

Thomas Settimi

 

Two Vietnam-era Navy flyers are thrust through space and time to 19th Century America on the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg

 

. . . a history professor and his best student, a Navy pilot and his navigator—four lives juxtaposed along a discontinuity in time spanning 105 years—from Vietnam to the Battle of Gettysburg. Lieutenant Nathaniel Booth couldn’t have known how his life was about to change that day in June 1968 as he and Lincoln Hayes completed their air mission over Laos and headed back to the deck of the USS Enterprise. Thirty-five years later, Professor Roger Atwood and Amanda Marshall would struggle to weave together the threads of a lost airman’s life and bring solace to a grief-stricken mother.

I've only read the first six chapters, but i like it. What can I say, your obviously an historian or archeologist, or both and you know the Navy. I look forward to the rest of an enjoyable read. My oldest daughter had a roommate in college who informed me her father was a retired Rear Admiral, I graceless replied 'oh Navy pukes, I mostly know Army pukes'.

Thanks for the kind words, Luther. I worked for the Navy Dept as an engineer for a number of years.

I am taking a look at your Black Winds and will get back to you with some comment when I'm further into it.
