Thanks to a stunning flying performance and a harrowing shootout in the streets of Boston, Robert Canderelli Weekesâs lifelong dream has come true: heâs the first male allowed to join the US Sigilry Corpsâs Rescue and Evacuation service, an elite, all-woman team of flying medics.
But as he deploys to France during the waning days of the Great War, Sigilwoman Third-Class Canderelli learns that carrying the injured from the front lines to the field hospital is not the grand adventure he imagined. His division, full of misfits and renegades, is stretched the breaking point and has no patience for a man striving to prove himself. Slowly, Robert wins their trust and discovers his comrades are plotting to end the Great War by outlawed philosophical means. Robert becomes caught up in their conspiracy, running raids in enemy territory and uncovering vital intelligence. Friends old and new will need his help with a dangerous scheme that just might win the war overnight and save a few million lives. But the German smokecarvers have plans of their own: a devastating all-out attack that threatens to destroy the Corps and France itself. Naturally, Robert is trapped right in the thick of it.
The Philosopherâs War is the electrifying next chapter in Robert Weekesâs story, filled with heroic, unconventional women, thrilling covert missions, romance and, of course, plenty of aerial adventures.
