. . . a history professor and his best student, a Navy pilot and his navigator—four lives juxtaposed along a discontinuity in time spanning 105 years—from Vietnam to the Battle of Gettysburg. Lieutenant Nathaniel Booth couldn’t have known how his life was about to change that day in June 1968 as he and Lincoln Hayes completed their air mission over Laos and headed back to the deck of the USS Enterprise. Thirty-five years later, Professor Roger Atwood and Amanda Marshall would struggle to weave together the threads of a lost airman’s life and bring solace to a grief-stricken mother.
