Wallenstein's era

The fighting spirit of the Wallenstein family comes to life in the air battles of World War I. The Chronicles of the Crimson Stones continues with an adventure story from the environment of pilots who fought in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. The war pilot, a descendant of the famous Wallenstein family, will continue the fighting fame of his famous ancestor, Albrecht of Wallenstein. Vlad Ríša' s insider' s look at the little-known history of flying during World War I not only brings a number of interesting facts about aviation technology, but also about the early use of aircraft in the armies of the time. Readers tend to associate the aerial battles of that time with the Western Front, with fighting in France, and with names like Captain Bigglesworth (Biggles) or Baron Manfred von Richthofen (Red Baron). The story of Wallenstein' s Era, on the other hand, takes place on the Italian and Russian fronts. The background to the whole story is mysterious crimson stones, one set in a ring and the other in the hilt of a sword, which were obtained by Albrecht von Wallenstein during his war campaign in Italy and which were stolen from the Wallenstein family' s property several centuries later. The search for them leads the young Wallenstein not only into a series of dangerous situations or into the bedroom of a charming Italian noblewoman, but also to places where only chance separated him from fundamentally influencing the future of Europe.
