Unknown Darkness

Return to the story about a world without power where a group of strong women have come together to not only survive the apocalypse but thrive in it. Still haunted by her time in the Middle East, Sergeant Geri Fischer is grateful to be stationed in the simple, almost boring town of Astoria.

Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing.

Not by any of the guys in the group or by bird in the area, not even by coyote or a mountain lion, but by something bigger, something he never felt before. He was the first to have his ropes down and wanted to be the first at the bottom, trying to prevent John from disturbing anymore of the area before he had a chance to observe. So far, the entire group had agreed that none of them had ever seen anything like this, ...

No Demon of Darkness is not a chronicle of violent clashes with the Luftwaffe's bombers over England; it is the tale of a young pilot and the challenges he faced in learning to fly, and in flying heavy fighters such as the Bristol Beaufighter and De Haviland Mosquito. It is also about setbacks and successes. Above all, it is about what it often meant to be an inexperienced operational pilot in wartime.
