The Dying Time (Book 2): After The Dying Time - Plot & Excerpts
He had been tossing and turning all night long, thinking about Ellen and the kids and what would happen to the Freeholds if the King’s forces weren’t stopped. Nightmarish visions haunted his attempts at sleep. Ellen, lying dead on the field of battle. His son, Steven, slaving on one of the King’s road building crews. Little Mary and Jimmy and the rest of his family, dispersed and destroyed. Every time he closed his eyes the images jumped out at him. It wasn’t the first time he’d found himself the victim of his own hyperactive imagination. Michael knew he needed rest. He and the other pilots had flown sorties around the clock for several days. Besides, a soldier always needs rest on the eave of a battle; and the battle was imminent. The sun had been out for several days and the ground was drying nicely. The enemy had stepped up the frequency of his probing attacks. Even the artillery barrage had intensified. Soon, today or tomorrow, it would be time for the real thing.
