Description

In the soaring heights of a private skyscraper, a solitary chamber called Niss'rosh offers a panoramic view of a glittering city, the Hudson, and distant Palisades. The room is a museum of his life: Oriental wood tables, prayer rugs, war‑torn rifles, Prussian flags and a bronze faun’s head share space with atlases, aeronautical treatises and a Mercator map marked with a bold question‑mark over the Arabian desert. Its owner, a forty‑one‑year‑old with the bearing of an athlete, reclines in a bamboo chair, his bored stare suggesting a mind bristling with restless energy yet dulled by ennui.

Surrounded by relics of past conflicts and the latest scientific studies of flight, he plots a new venture—an elite squadron of daring pilots who will conquer the skies from this very perch. The annotated world map hints at a daring route that could reshape the balance of power, and the collection of weaponry seems poised to become the armament of his legion. As the first chapter lifts, listeners are drawn into a world where ambition, mystery, and the promise of adventure begin to stir.
