Philosopher's War
Philosopher's War | Tom Miller
4 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
The second book in the thrilling series that began with The Philosopher's Flight finds Robert Canderelli Weekes as a rookie Rescue and Evacuation flier on the front lines of World War I in France. He came to save lives, but has no idea how far he'll have to go to win the war. Thanks to a stunning flying performance and a harrowing shootout in the streets of Boston, Robert Canderelli Weekes's lifelong dream has come true: he's the first male allowed to join the US Sigilry Corps's Rescue and Evacuation service, an elite, all-woman team of flying medics. But as he deploys to France during the waning days of the Great War, Sigilwoman Third-Class Canderelli learns that carrying the injured from the front lines to the field hospital is not the grand adventure he imagined. His division, full of misfits and renegades, is stretched the breaking point and has no patience for a man striving to prove himself. Slowly, Robert wins their trust and discovers his comrades are plotting to end the Great War by outlawed philosophical means. Robert becomes caught up in their conspiracy, running raids in enemy territory and uncovering vital intelligence. Friends old and new will need his help with a dangerous scheme that just might win the war overnight and save a few million lives. But the German smokecarvers have plans of their own: a devastating all-out attack that threatens to destroy the Corps and France itself. Naturally, Robert is trapped right in the thick of it. The Philosopher's War is the electrifying next chapter in Robert Weekes's story, filled with heroic, unconventional women, thrilling covert missions, romance and, of course, plenty of aerial adventures. The second book in a series "that grabs readers from its opening lines and doesn't loosen its grip or lessen its hold all the way through" (Associated Press), Tom Miller again brings Robert's world to life with unrivaled imagination, ambition, and wit.

I enjoyed my time in this world as much as with the first installment but the actual plot line was not as good. Robert has finally made it to the Corps but war is not what he had imagined.

I‘ve spent the week with this series, and WOW! Excellent world building, diverse and complex characters, a rollicking plot with historical accuracy. I can‘t say enough good things about these books. I seriously hope that there will be a third book.

This was a wonderful, better-paced sequel that I was excited to receive from #netgalley! This book focuses on the fighting front in World War I and how our protagonist Robert, the first male philosopher rescue flier in this alternate history/fantasy, fares along with his squadron. The author really did his historical research to ground the fantastical elements in reality, and it shows. Out on July 16th!

Up at my future in-law‘s place in New Hampshire for the three day weekend! Relaxing with this arc from #netgalley out by the fire pit after a long day of Home Depot sales, craft fairs, and yard work 🔥

DGRachel I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the first book. Excited to see there‘s a sequel coming soon. 😊 5y
danimgill @DGRachel Yes, it‘ll be out July 16th! And I‘m actually enjoying this sequel more than the first, so hopefully you‘ll find the same when the time comes 😁 5y
