The Air Pirate
The transatlantic air-lanes have never been more dangerous…
In a world where massive passenger airships rule the skies and the London-to-New York flight is the pinnacle of luxury, an unprecedented terror has emerged from the clouds. A pirate ship of terrifying speed, outfitted with utterly silent engines and heavy artillery, is shooting commercial air-liners out of the sky and plundering their cargo. When the Royal Mail ship Atlantis falls prey to the ruthless marauders, they don't just take the jewels-they kidnap England's beloved actress, Constance Shepherd.
For Sir John Custance, Chief Commissioner of the British Air Police, this isn't just an act of war; it is a deeply personal attack. Constance is his fiancée.
In a desperate race against time, Sir John abandons his desk at Scotland Yard of the Air, donning a master disguise and partnering with a razor-sharp, enigmatic Japanese detective named Mr. Danjuro. Together, they plunge into a dark and dangerous underworld of disgraced aviators, aristocratic criminals, and hidden coastal lairs. Their prime suspect? A disgraced World War I hero known only as "Hawk" Helzephron, a genius driven by an obsessive and overmastering passion.
James Harvey's The Air Pirate is a high-octane vintage thriller packed with retro-futuristic aviation, brilliant deductive logic, and heart-pounding suspense. Fasten your seatbelts for an unforgettable flight!
