About This Book

An inventive young engineer and his companions undertake a daring aerial voyage in a newly built airship while pursued by hostile forces. The plot interleaves attempts to rescue an abused youngster, a detective’s investigation, a concealed passenger, and repeated mechanical troubles that force improvisation. Along a globe-spanning chase the crew confronts sabotage, bombardment, animal danger, desert and jungle obstacles, and the loss of vital components, relying on ingenuity and bold maneuvers to survive and eventually bring their pursuers to a final reckoning.
