Overview

To die Among Strangers is a love story set against the background of the Korean War, which lasted from June 1950 until July 1953. Robert Bruce piloted an F9F Panther Jet, and saw action from the war’s beginning until its end. Court martialed for refusing to obey orders from his squadron commander placed his freedom, indeed his very life, in danger.

Love is powerful but just how long could it last in a time of war and destruction? An enduring odyssey awaits readers in To Die Among Strangers, a new novel authored by Korean War veteran Clair Calhoon. Set against the background of the Korean War, To Die Among Strangers follows the exploits of Robert Bruce, a F9F Panther Jet pilot and a veteran of countless battles. His disobedience to his squadron commander in the war zone because of a bothered conscience gets him court-martialed and stripped of his freedom. Along the way, he meets Julie, a beautiful half-Russian, half-Chinese woman who would capture his heart. As they spend time together, they fall in love, all amid the war and the uncertainty it brought about. Packing combat sequences with the drama of a love endeavoring to flourish in wartime, To Die Among Strangers promises readers an immersive and touching read.
