Stanley R. Matthews

Adventure, Novels

The year is 1910-something, when flying is still a death-defying gamble and the sky belongs to the brave. Motor Matt King has earned his nickname the hard way: he can fix any engine, tame any machine. So when a mysterious client needs a pilot for an experimental aëroplane, Matt steps up. But the job comes with a dirty secret: his new employer, Amos Murgatroyd, is scheming to cheat the widow of the plane's inventor out of her inheritance. Matt overhears the plot and faces a choice that will define him. Fly for fame and fortune, or fight for a woman who has nothing left but her husband's legacy. What follows is high-stakes adventure at ten thousand feet, where a single faulty spark can bring a man down and enemies wait on the ground. This is pulp adventure at its finest: a plucky hero, dangerous skies, and a moral fight worth winning.
