If you liked 'The Invisible Piper', then you will love this. Linda M James has succeeded in drawing the reader deeper into the war time experience. I was genuinely surprised at the character development of Rob, the Spitfire pilot, and very impressed by the ending - won't say any more." - R J Dearden. Author of The Realignment Case.’
In “Tempting the Stars”, the exciting and poignant sequel to The Invisible Piper, we meet young Rob Adams again; now disfigured by fire after baling out of his Spitfire. But Rob is lucky; he is sent to one of the best hospitals in war-torn Britain – the Queen Victoria in East Grinstead. Here he meets the famous ‘Guinea Pigs’; a group of men who were patients of the famous surgeon Archie McIndoe.
Rob is also lucky because he has many people who love him: his devoted parents, his beautiful girlfriend Kate, his school-friend Colin and the lion-hearted 11 year-old Charlie Slater who has to overcome many problems of his own.
At first Rob can’t see any future, but as Aldous Huxley once said ‘it is not how we cope with success that makes us strong, but how we cope with failure’
