No Enemy But Time: A Novel of the SouthMacmillan, 2003 - 288 pages After the success of his bestselling novel Delirium of the Brave, William C. Harris, Jr., continues to fascinate readers with Southern intrigue in his second historical thriller. Set against the darkness of Jesus Island, Georgia and the glitter of Savannah society, No Enemy But Time brings back beloved characters and weaves a tale of espionage, murder, loyalty, and ultimately the high cost of betrayal. Spanning from World War II to the present, the story tells of Francis Collins, an IRA soldier turned Nazi spy placed on Savannah's coast during the war. Years later, he becomes a powerful force in local society and a father figure to a young politician, Will McQueen. While out diving with friends one day, Will discovers a downed submarine. Locked deep inside its hull is the key to generations of deceit-and a secret that could destroy both men's lives. |
