Motor Matt's Reverse; Or, Caught in a Losing Cause

The golden age of aviation meets pulp adventure in this gripping early 20th-century tale. Motor Matt, a daring young aviator with a gift for engines and nerve, finds himself hunted from the skies by a crew of ruthless villains. When Murgatroyd and the sinister Siwash Charley orchestrate an ambush mid-flight, Matt's aircraft comes crashing down, but his troubles have only begun. Wounded but unbowed, he struggles against captors determined to stop him from saving Mrs. Traquair and her homestead, the prize at the center of a sinister plot. This is motor fiction at its finest: fast-paced, action-driven, and steeped in the wonder and danger of early aviation. The story captures a moment when flight was still miraculous and deadly, when a young man with courage and mechanical savvy could pit himself against villainy in the clouds. For readers who miss old-fashioned adventure where the hero simply won't quit.
