EO-N

"A tautly paced and multifaceted tale of humanity and the power of compassion...Dave Mason's moving WWII novel takes place in the past and the present, as a once-idealistic biotech CEO stumbles into a seventy-four-year-old mystery that connects her to the past and changes her future forever....Mason balances the carnage, killing, and fear of war with acts of bravery and compassion, and weaves the characters' backstories, their individual insecurities, fears, and hopes into a moving narrative that takes the reader through the dangers fighter pilots faced in aerial combat over WWII Europe, and delves into the unspeakable horrors that victims of Nazi camps endured. In this poignant story, Mason has deftly threaded together a gripping adventure, a history lesson, and a cautionary tale of loss, redemption, and humanity."

"A novel you'll have trouble putting down...In this well-researched, strikingly accurate, and compelling tale, the author cunningly and deftly draws events together into a novel you'll have trouble putting down."

-- Tom Burdge, Flight Lieutenant (ret'd) RAFVR, 248 Squadron / Banff Strike Wing

"A compelling and touching story...EO-N is Dave Mason's first novel, and readers should prepare to be impressed. Dave Mason has tackled several topics in EO-N. It is a story about family and acceptance mingled with history. WWII figures prominently in the book and it highlights the lasting effects the war is still having today. While some liberties have been taken, WWII buffs will appreciate the historical accuracy. This includes military telegrams, squadrons, and the aircraft used during this period in history...Dave Mason expertly brings these characters together in a manner that seems natural, not contrived. It's a skill few first-time writers can pull off so smoothly...Overall, Dave Mason has written a compelling first novel that readers of all ages can identify with. The fact that the novel takes place primarily in Norway and Germany gives it a more historically accurate feel. By the end of EO-N, readers will be eagerly anticipating the author's second work of historical fiction."
