In March 1945, USAAF Captain Ethan Kelvin is a man of two reputations. Kelvin may be the best bomber pilot in the Pacific Theater. For completing dozens of missions, he's been decorated by command. But to his crews, Kelvin is a jinx. Men die by the score in Captain Coffin's aircraft. Kelvin's planes come back. The men don't. Trapped between praise, hatred and survival, Kelvin's distorted and darkened spirit accepts when the CIA-precursor Office of Special Services (OSS) offers Kelvin a way home through a clandestine B-29 spy mission over the Soviet Union.

Flying thousands of miles with no dog tags, no markings and no rescue, it's a one-way trip if captured. After accepting, Kelvin's suspicions gradually grow. A prison-like isolation, unexplained mission changes and the crew addition of an enigmatic OSS operative named Lucian feed the fear that Kelvin's mission is being set up for sacrifice.

Wren crosses the globe and scope of a world war's final fires as the Cold War dawns. A tale of paranoia, survival and a surprise redemption, Wren sees WWII through the lens of its time with a modern sensibility while exploring the emotional maiming of men and the fear bred by misinformation and manipulation. Wren offers insights for today from lessons of the past.
