“This book had me at Night Witches; James Benn has done it again! Billy Boyle’s return in Road of Bones is an absolute triumph. Sharp, resourceful, and daring, Billy is a hero to root for from first page to last. James Benn brings WWII so vividly to life, you’ll hear the whistle of shrapnel and wish you had a SPAM sandwich.”
—Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of the Veronica Speedwell series
“James Benn has done it again with Road of Bones. A real page-turner and enormously entertaining!”
