However, things are about to take a turn for the worst as Shrek, who's been longing for the old days when he was feared by many, signs a deal with the devious Rumpelstiltskin. As a result, I end up getting separated from my family and we end up getting thrown into an alternate universe where Rumpelstiltskin rules Far Far Away with an army of witches at his disposal. Ogres are hated and being hunted down, no one knows who Shrek is since he never existed here, and Shrek will die in a day's time.

And some "saviors" are just men behind the scenes wearing fancy suits and ties, calling themselves the "Heroes of Humanity."

Operation Argument, what is later known as Big Week. A concentrated attack by the VIII Air Force on Luftwaffe production. Major Marc Suchet is a 24 year old fighter pilot. His job is to lead his squadron over ocupied Europe and Germany. He's the hardened combat vetran that holds his squadron together. Combat doesn't care how experienced or good you are. A chance hit, a crippled plane, and he finds himself in occupied France. He's alone with nothing but a pistol, a few French phrases, and no way home. He doesn't get far before he's found - not by the Germans, but by a farm girl with a pitchfork and no intention of turning him in. Colette Davout and her family are already risking everything for France. Hiding an American pilot makes the risks even more personal. But as days become weeks, French lessons by the fire become something neither of them expected - and the war that's supposed to keep them apart is the only reason they ever met at all. Getting Marc out of France will take forged papers, trains across France crawling with German patrols, and trusting complete strangers. Getting him home - safely, permanently, with Colette still a part of his life - is another matter entirely. Inspired by real Resistance escape lines and the true stories of Allied airmen who evaded with the help of the Resistance. Mustang in France is a story about the ordinary people who risked everything to save strangers and the kind of love that survives on nothing but a promise. Meticulously researched with accurate historical details. The raid actually happened on Feb 25, 1944. The checklist steps, the squadrons, the tactics, all the locations, the routes of travel are real. Even moon phases and sunrise/set times. French translations are at the end of each chapter.
