The Hunters (The Victory Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Richard Townshend Bickers (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 313 ratings

It is March 1918.

The Germans are about to take everyone by surprise with an early launch of their spring offensive.

There is a feeling that the war simply cannot go on for much longer, but yet Allied ground is being lost and key towns retaken by the Germans.

In this concluding volume of the Victory Trilogy, the story sweeps the reader along on the crest of a wave of thrilling air battles and the reverses and triumphs of the Allied forces in the concluding months of the Great War.

The personal problems and inter-relationships of the well-established cast achieve their various resolutions; with many unexpected twists that arise convincingly from their own characters.

With accurate historical detail, the book thrillingly depicts The Hunters’ adventures – their conquests in the air and on the ground – against the backdrop of the later development of the First World War.

The Hunters is a gripping military adventure story set during the tumultuous events of World War One. It is the third and final book in The Victory Trilogy.

Praise for Richard Townshend Bickers

Continuation of the escapades of the young but wizened pilots of the Allies and Huns as the war continues to slaughter. Worth the read.

A very good read if you're looking for a history-based fictional book about the fighter pilots of WWI, which is what I was looking for this time. The trilogy brings out the differences, as well as the similarities of viewpoints of the airmen of Britian, France, and Germany. It also gives a basic review of the evolution of the aircraft of the day. This is a well thought out series that I enjoyed reading very much.

3.0 out of 5 stars WWI Fighter Pilots
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016

I've been studying WWI aviation lately, mainly memoirs and aircraft books. I thought I'd give these a try based on the autho'rs background and publishing history of aviation based histories, fictional and non-fiction.

I rather enjoyed it.
As pointed out by various reviewers, the characters are a bit stereotypical, study English schoolboy turned ace, worldly racing driver French pilot, and ambitious German.

Still, the pace was quick and there were some surprises and the aircraft combat scenes are well done.
I even learned a few things about the lives of pilots and WWI aircraft.

In short, it's a pleasant way to spend a few hours.

Good view points from both sides of the war. Amazing that we still see separation between military forces caste, culture and personal values that bring a collective effort to success or failure depending upon circumstance and luck.

Another good read in The Victory Trilogy - this being the third of the series. Very good descriptive writing of the aircraft flown on the German, French and British air arms, and the description of aerobatics, dogfighting etc., gives one a good idea as to how the air war in WW1 was fought. Highly recommend.

Hmmm. This review is about the whole series of three books. When I started book 1, I was disappointed that the three main characters were dreadful stereotypes, ie the reserved ex public school boy, the arrogant Prussian and the flamboyant Frenchman but to give the author his due he develops them well and there a few twists and turns that actually make their personal stories quite good. The aerial battles are fine with one exception - I'm pretty sure the author has never flown (I have) because many of his flying manoeuvres and tactics don't make sense but strangely they still stand up to the narrative. All in all I was enjoying the books and looking forward to the climatic ending. Would the plucky Brit defeat the dastardly Kraut? Would the Frenchman intervene in a wonderful final air battle?? Er - nope the final book just stops dead in mid flow. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Its almost as though he got bored with the whole thing and just gave up - unless my version is somehow missing the final chapter. They say a book/series of books need a beginning, middle and end. This only has a beginning and middle which is shame because the author writes well.
One final point why can't authors number their books? Like many, I had to scratch around reading reviews to find out what order the books were in the series . There's no excuse for this as Amazon even have a facility in the Kindle publishing system to designate books in sequence in a series.
