De: Tina Anne James

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

It is 1919. The time of the great English and French air races. A time of rejoicing and rebuilding after the devastation of World War 1. Ironically, millions are out of work throughout Europe. Economies are struggling. Anarchists and fifth columnists are doing their utmost to bring down entire governments and countries in the name of labor, socialism, or just plain greed. One man, the mysterious “Governor”, has enough power, enough money, and enough hatred to rally thousands to his call: the economic destruction of England. Scotland Yard is handcuffed. The Home Office moves too slowly. In desperation His Majesty’s government turns to the two people they have relied upon in the past: Lady Emily Joyce and Professor August Lane. Brilliant scientists, lovers, and possessed of certain skills that make them a nightmare to the ungodly, The Lady and the Professor take up the challenge to identify “The Governor” and put an end to his plans by whatever means necessary. Accompanied by their long time associate Chief Inspector Hugh McCrimmon, the lovely Aaradhya O’Hara, their inscrutable butler, Biddle, and a small army of The Lady’s remarkable cousins they begin a new adventure that takes them from London to Paris. From Lincolnshire to the formidable Orkney Islands. There’s danger at every step, in the air in Lady Emily’s unique aircraft, and under the sea in the most incredible submarine battle of the era. There is action, adventure, mystery, and enough romance for all. And there is a terrible, dark demon that resurfaces from Emily’s past that threatens to destroy her. This is a revised edition that corrects certain errors that slipped by initialy.
