Icarus and the Wing Builder Robert William Case

Icarus and the Wing Builder is an epic tale of rites of passage, love, betrayal and mastery, set upon the mystical islands and sailing ships of the Aegean Sea. This book tells the soaring story of the first historic flight between two mountainous islands by a father and son; two ordinary people of an ancient time, whose deeds have become legend. The book is so much more than just another text about mythology. It's universal theme resonates powerfully into the present; the struggle of the ordinary person to become the hero of one's own life. This is the first volume of a trilogy of historical fiction set during the rise of the Minoan civilization and its fall, in the wake of an explosive volcanic eruption of the island now known as Santorini.
