“…a powerhouse of a novel, combining the hearts and bonds of men at war with exquisite technical accuracy that reads like lightning from a rifle barrel. A Gathering Of Men is a sweeping epic that will keep you breathless while leaving no heartstring un-pulled. If you’re looking for an ace in the genre of historical fiction, then Simmons is by far your huckleberry.”
—Brian Panowich, best-selling author of Bull Mountain and Hard Cash Valley

Book Description: CANDOR, NORTH CAROLINA. The town barber brandishes a copy of the May 1927 Charlotte Observer—on the front page, Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis on its cross-country flight. At the outskirts of town, best friends Lake, Roger, and Jim take turns hurling their wingless crate down a hill. Eyes closed, they imagine their future alongside Lindy. Pearl Harbor changes everything. The boys will have their chance to fly—not over North Carolina farm fields, but across Germany on bombing runs, facing a determined Luftwaffe. The odds of completing their tours of duty are slim. A Gathering of Men is the account of the boys who board their aircraft for the first time and the men they become in the blink of an eye. The terrors they witness and the pressure to go up again and again and again brings them to the breaking point. It is a moving tale, based on a true story, about shattered dreams and enduring friendship, duty, and honor.
