Publisher's summary
In an alternate history of Earth, Sir Basil Campbell, a hero of the Battle of Jutland, has helped change the language of the Washington Naval Treaty from its original form. In doing so, Sir Basil's mysterious dreams have spurred an international change in focus towards accelerated development of naval aviation. Part of that involved the two 'Splendid Cats', the Royal Navy battle cruisers HMS Lion and HMS Princess Royal, being converted into aircraft carriers instead of being scrapped. Elsewhere in the world, other navies sacrificed large portions of their battleship fleets to be able to add more aircraft carriers despite growing fiscal difficulties caused by worldwide post-war financial calamities. The changes spread far beyond the signatories of the Treaty. This would lead to a dramatic naval and aerial battle iinvolving nations in Latin America. But Sir Basil's influential dreams continue, brought on by a most mysterious source.
