‘The book is set largely in Scotland and follows the story of Mackenzie Gordon, a young Glasgow naval architect who becomes caught in an international espionage conspiracy surrounding the famous R-100 airship. The novel blends authentic Scottish history with real historical figures, including acclaimed Scottish writer Nan Shepherd, who becomes Mackenzie’s trusted friend and mentor during a pivotal chapter set in the Cairngorms.

Although the story begins in Glasgow and follows the R-100’s historic journey to Canada, Scotland’s landscapes, history, engineering achievements, and literary heritage are woven throughout the novel.’
