Red Rain

The best-kept secret of World War II? The Japanese fire balloons. In this novel, a Japanese-American woman goes undercover to destroy these delicate but deadly creations.

"In Red Rain, Tim Wendel takes a footnote to World War II and masterfully expands it into a novel of dynamic action and human dimension. From bombed-out Tokyo to the arid forests of Arizona, he takes us into the fire, and expert guide he is, never loses his bearings." (Colson Whitehead)

"This is a terrific story, jammed with secrets, cross-purposes and revelations, and Tim Wendel has made a fine novel of it." (Oakley Hall)
