The Shout and the Avalanche: The Education of Billy Wonder

l938-39: Europe is in arms. Britain and France mobilize their citizens and provide them with gas masks, and London sends its children north to safeguard them from air attacks. Meanwhile, Billy Wonder, a young messenger working in Manhattan, inadvertently finds himself locked in the cross hairs of two terrorist groups, witnesses the theft of a diplomatic attaché case, and is taken hostage in a Manhattan office building because he is suspected of being an FBI informant. Little does Billy know how unprepared he is for the startling revelations that lie ahead of him.
