William D. Gann ~7 hr read

A sweeping romance of a young hero's rise, a future war, and a wondrous 'tunnel thru the air', a novel its author packed with hidden lessons for the discerning reader.

William D. Gann's 1927 novel is a curious blend of hard-SF prophecy, military SF, and coded market wisdom. Idiosyncratic, prophetic, unique. Read it for a legendary oddity by the famed market forecaster, a future-war romance that anticipated aerial warfare and, famously, is said to conceal Gann's secret trading techniques in its story, an artifact prized by speculators and SF collectors alike.
