Mackenzie Ford is the pen name of Peter Watson. As Ford, he's written two books as of now. This is the second. The other is Gifts of War. His writing style is excellent and the story lines portray very real life complications and real emotions. The only downside is the ending doesn't wrap up, it just ends. This is the case with both books; however, Clouds Beneath the Sun includes a very brief epilogue for those of us who just want to know what came of the main characters later in life. Some might find the ending a bit harsh, but I appreciated it for just this reason. I am glad I read it. It's one you can't help but think about days afterward. I will continue to read future Ford books if there are any.
