WHITE FLAG DOWN

A cocky American pilot is flying over Switzerland during wartime and sees something he should not have seen just moments before his plane is shot down. What he has captured in his photos is an experimental weapon that could turn the course of the war--a fighter jet. Narrator William Dufris performs Ross's latest WWII thriller with a breathless enthusiasm, making the listener alternately worry for the hero and cheer him on. A disturbing facet of the book is an exploration of Switzerland's so-called neutrality during the war. With his command of several accents--French, Russian, Swiss, and German--Dufris gives each character a distinct voice that never surrenders to cliché.
