Round the World in Seven Days
1910
In 1910, aviation is in its infancy, and flying across oceans is an act of madness. Yet when Lieutenant Charles Thesiger Smith learns that his father, a renowned geologist, lies stranded on a remote island in the Solomon Sea after a shipwreck, he has no choice but to take to the skies. Piloting his fragile aeroplane through treacherous storms, uncharted waters, and lands unknown, Charles embarks on a desperate race against time. Each leg of his journey pushes man and machine to their limits, as the primitive technology of the age offers no guarantees, only courage and hope. The novel pulses with the early-twentieth-century faith in human daring, when the world still seemed vast and unmapped, and a son's love for his father could fuel the most extraordinary of voyages.
