The unwritten Code of the Air directs aviators to come to the aid of all who share the sky. But does this obligation end even when man-made wings become eternal ones?
Ever since he could remember, Tom Rawlings has had his sights set on becoming a pilot. Growing up around a small-town airport, he soaks up everything he can about flying from the ragtag community of pilots who become his makeshift family.
But Tom's dreams are almost cut short after a near-fatal midair collision, one that was only avoided by the wise words of a mysterious man, Richard Clarke. He's a gone-but-not-forgotten pilot legend and becomes Tom's mentor.
As Tom moves from awed rookie to commercial airline captain, he soon learns that his dream job comes with real life-or-death stakes, and being a pilot is about much more than just technical skills. As he advances in his career, he finds himself guided by unexplained encounters with mysterious airmen from bygone days known as the Couriers. Even as aviation technology progresses, the timeless wisdom of the Couriers endures.
Drawn into a secret fraternity, Tom questions how far he will go to decipher the mystic signs and join the ranks of the dead who never fully depart.
Based on actual events, The Couriers of Herodotus maneuvers into the balance between age-old wisdom and technology, community and solos, and aviation's past and future. Soar along with Tom and rediscover the magic that first took flight in the pioneering days of aviation. With vivid historical detail and dashes of high-flying fantasy, this is a novel for dreamers of all ages.
Strap yourself in and unlock the magical mysteries of the skies.
