Synopsis

When the fog came, there was no warning. Nikolai was directly over the Devil's Rocks. It sprang up like a demon from a smoke stack. It was so quick and unexpected that before he knew what was happening, it had shot upwards in white, ghostly spirals, fingering the underside of the fuselage. The Landing Place is a fast-paced historical adventure novel based on an account by a former pilot in the Russian Imperial Airforce. Nikolai Rostovsky, a young Russian pilot, is sent on his first solo mission over Mount Ararat. His orders are to reconnoiter recent Turkish troop movements. But the reconnaissance becomes a series of hazardous adventures that are not only life-threatening, but will change his life forever. Nikolai is forced to crash land in sub-zero temperatures, to spend the night in a strange wooden building half buried in the ice, and to confront lightning storms, avalanches and wild animals. He is hunted by an ambitious Turkish captain and stalked by an unseen humanoid creature. But it is his encounter with the silent Natasha and her mysterious grandfather that will change things forever.
