About This Book

A young aeronaut pursues experimental ballooning and becomes wrapped up in rivalry, secret observation, and a puzzling shooting that imperils his projects. The narrative moves between technical trials, financial and social maneuvering, and investigative pursuit as conspiracies are unmasked and suspects tracked. Tense episodes include fog-bound aerial confrontations, disappearance and reappearance, and daring rescues, all balanced with practical detail about flight. The action resolves through reconciliation and reunion, closing the central mysteries and restoring stability to the characters’ lives.
