Synopsis:
In the trenches of Europe during the Great War, Tomás Cordero operated a weapon more devastating than any gun: a flame projector that doused the enemy in liquid fire. Having left the battlefield a shattered man, he comes home to Tampa, Florida, to find yet more tragedy–in his absence, his wife has died of the flu.
