About This Book

The narrative begins when a young factory worker notices a patch of metal that inexplicably glows white-hot despite the welding equipment being inactive. His investigation leads to a nighttime struggle with a nimble, mysterious intruder and a frantic pursuit through the plant. The mystery then propels a sequence of hazardous adventures — desert races, a dust-eating mule episode, an airplane caught in a typhoon, and sea survival in a lifeboat — during which hidden chests are uncovered. The action culminates in a dramatic aerial confrontation and a mid-air race that bring the central enigma to resolution.
