Three novels of the Great War in one special Leonaur edition Joseph Altsheler was well known as an author of adventures set within momentous historical periods and was highly regarded for the attention to factual detail and the accuracy with which he was able to evoke the authenticity of time, place and personalities who occupied the worlds of his novels. Leonaur, at the time of the publication of this new volume, already publish his noted American Civil War series, the French and Indian War series and Colonial Frontier series, all of which have their own aficionados. This book, another thrilling adventure series linked by characters who feature in each novel, is set during the cataclysmic time of conflict that was the Great War of 1914-18 and so, from Altsheler’s perspective, was fiction of his own times. Because this saga is recounted within fewer novels than Altsheler usually wrote on a single theme, Leonaur is pleased to present the complete Great War trilogy, ‘The Guns of Europe’, ‘The Forest of Swords’ and ‘The Hosts of the Air, ’ in a single substantial volume. In typical Altsheler manner, these novels introduce us to the principal character, the young American, John Scott, his comrades in arms of the French army and air force together with ‘the Strangers’-foreigners who fight for the cause of ‘La Belle France’-as we join them in many engaging adventures as they battle the ‘Boche.’ This delightful collectors edition is available in softcover and hardcover for collectors. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket-the ideal way to read and own that ‘special’ book.
