Description:As the restless son and reluctant heir of an 18th-century pastry-cook, James Sadler dreams of a life beyond the bounds of his family’s shop counter. But advancement requires an education, and education comes at a price.James’s audacious solution? To construct and fly an air-balloon in the span of a single month, and thereby win a wager that could finance his every ambition—or cost him the very last ounce of his self-esteem.With neither knowledge of aeronautics nor a taste for honest hard work, James finds the odds are stacked against him; as are his science-abhorring cousin, and a father who hates gambling almost as deeply as he deplores ungrateful sons.Thanks to the help of an unforeseen ally, the prize lies within reach when James is thrust by unnatural arts into a strange and deadly predicament. Faced with a mesmerizing new enemy, the would-be first English aeronaut risks losing, not just his hopes and dreams, but his life—and more besides.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
