Overview

An ardent passion for flying brings New Zealand born Peter Garland to the RAF and war- torn Britain. Very quickly he settles into the life of a fighter pilot with the help of romance, comradery and unmatched determination. However, it isn’t long until Peter is plunged into the perils of air warfare where he faces not only the enemy, but also his own demons. Everything he holds dear hangs in the balance as injury, loss and the ever-present Nazi threat soon takes a brutal toll. As the ravages of the war rage on, The Pathfinder operation takes Peter into the belly of the action where all his skills, talent and grit are put to the test. He and his trusty navigator, Gary quickly find themselves swept up in the treacherous turbulence of this great operation. Little do they know that this mission will have life-altering consequences… The Pathfinder is a tragically heart-warming tale of heroism and friendship. A story of how to overcome adversity when all seems lost. It shows that out of the depths of destruction and despair come hope, togetherness and strength. With nostalgic charm, bittersweet triumph and poignant emotion, follow Peter on his epic journey through war, peace and love.

Author Information

Born in New Zealand in 1959 and raised in Australia, the author is currently happily settled in northern Tasmania, but is open to offers. He is father to two beautiful daughters who, probably quite sensibly, choose to live somewhere considerably warmer than Tasmania. Recently retired from a career in banking to concentrate on writing, he spends his days feeding the chickens and the cats whilst unsuccessfully trying to convince his French wife that the English make better cheese. An avid reader, he has a particular interest in non-fiction history, with a special fascination in the period from the American Civil War up until the Cold War. Away from writing, his main interests are playing guitar, old, unreliable English cars and pouring glasses of champagne for his wife.
