Heavily researched novel, based on the life of the First English Aeronaut, James Sadler of Oxford.James is a trainee Cook possessed with the dangerously-impossible dream of manmade flight. Despite opposition from worried family and friends, a chance meeting with eccentric Dr George Fordyce, wealthy Physician to King George III, brings a thrilling opportunity. But James must choose between the security of love or the isolated life of a pioneer. Around him, Aristocrats with masonic connections are sending spies to prevent the rise of artisan scientists, even to murder. James' decision will have life-changing consequences for himself, his true love and life-long friend. |
