Description

Two seasoned adventurers, a quick‑witted Secret Service operative and his longtime companion, a rugged woods guide turned air‑man, spend a night in a Salt Lake City hotel swapping stories over hearty meals. Their conversation circles around a remarkable airship—equipped with pontoons, skis, and the latest flight instruments—that the government has entrusted to them for a daring assignment. Their camaraderie, peppered with humor and a shared love of the sky, sets the tone for a partnership that thrives on daring exploits and sharp banter.

When a mysterious summons arrives, the duo is thrust into a globe‑spanning chase, hunting a network of international crooks who have turned to the heavens for their crimes. From fog‑laden mountain passes to sun‑baked deserts, the pair must rely on their wits, the ship’s versatility, and their unshakeable trust in each other to stay one step ahead. Listeners will be swept up in high‑altitude intrigue, vivid landscapes, and the thrill of a race against time that only the skies can offer.
