Description
Part 1 of 2. 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 man-made flight. Despite opposition from worried family and friends, a chance meeting with eccentric Dr George Fordyce brings a thrilling opportunity of potential success. But James must choose between the security of love or the isolated life of a pioneer. Around him, the powerful Establishment of Church, University and rich Aristocrats fear loss of their ancient power to this new breed of artisan scientists, commissioning assassins, the notorious Grey Men, to obstruct or murder their rivals. James' actions will have life-changing consequences leading him to wonder if his dream is worth the heavy price.
