Volume twelve of A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight. In this novel of the troubled and decadent years before the Second World War, Phillip Maddison sees the survivors of the Western Front as a phoenix generation impelled to reject the past in order to make a country 'fit for heroes'. Yet he remains aloof from any direct action, preferring to plan his own history of the Great War and its aftermath while becoming deeply involved in his own problems. Looking meanwhile over the international scene, as the storm clouds of war gather inexorably, the Faust-like figure of Hitler is preaching the advent of a new Europe, based on a thousand years of peace. 'He commands, and is able to turn to artistic ends, a powerful and mournful sense of the near past which has shaped and distorted us into what we are.' Normal Shrapnel, Guardian

What we do when confronted with horrific news defines who we are and what we will be from that moment forward. Consequently, what would you do if an oncologist tells you that you have leukemia and a five-to-seven year life expectancy? To make things worse, he tells you to give up your passion (running marathons) for fear of shortening your life expectancy. This is what happened to Dr. Fields in January 2008. Yet, he refused to let leukemia deprive him of his passion. What he did next, made his diagnosis only life changing instead of life shattering. In February 2009, he set a goal to complete a marathon in every state and DC by the end of December 2012 -- 51 marathons in 47 months. Along the way, he hoped to qualify again for the Boston Marathon. Join Dr. Fields as he attempts to reach his goal in spite of leukemia, cancer related fatigue, chemotherapy, and chemotherapy induced myelodysplasia (failure of the bone marrow to produce sufficient red and white blood cells). Interwoven are stories of his travels, loves, losses, and humorous childhood memories.
