The sequel to A Tale of Wild Geese, A Place to Land picks up Johnny Reilly’s story in Africa at the end of 1944. World War Two had left all of them with scars, not all of them visible, and it wasn’t over yet. At night the Focke-Wulf still hunted him and the people he loved. When his career as a fighter pilot had ended, Johnny Reilly had come to Africa to make peace with his beloved cousin, to bring her husband home to her.
The year was 1940 and the skies above Britain were about to become a war zone. Eleanor Davies was a 19-year-old barmaid in the Lark. Her cousin, Johnny Reilly, had been bringing her things he thought she would like for as long as she could remember. He’d bring her a flower or a seashell that caught his eye. One day, he brought her a young American pilot and all their lives changed forever. When Danny walked through The Lark’s door, the world as she’d known it shifted; it would never be the same again. Danny O’Neal wasn’t supposed to be in the RAF, it violated his country’s neutrality agreements. He also wasn’t supposed to be falling in love. His whole life had been a war for survival. He had come to England in the hope that he could leave his past behind and build a life for himself. Meeting a girl hadn’t been part of his plans. This is a tale of Wild Geese blowing before the winds of war, coming of age and falling in love, building something worthwhile in the midst of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. It tells the story of dreaming of white roses, a porch and skies at peace, while the world falls apart around them. It’s an epic tale of ‘The Few’ who defended the skies and the Women’s Land Army that kept agriculture going. Above all, it’s a love story that spans across continents. The love story that left all of them changed forever.

It’s war – kill or be killed – but when both he and the Italian end up on the ground he finds that there are no politics in humanity and that a promise to a dying man must be honoured.
