Lords of the Stratosphere by Arthur J. Burks ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Lords of the Stratosphere by Arthur J. Burks audiobook. Genre: scifi At Roosevelt Field, where history-making flights begin and end, the race to conquer the stratosphere turns deadly and strange. Celebrated flier Franz Kress launches first, chasing the glory of breaking the altitude barrier above fifty-five thousand feet - and then vanishes. Rival aviator-scientists Lucian Jeter and Tema Eyer, equal parts competitors and partners in discovery, refuse to let the mystery close the sky. As unnerving reports spread of ghostly columns of light, impossible levitations, and sudden disappearances, they suspect Kress did not simply crash - he found something. Preparing their own experimental ascent, Jeter and Eyer climb into air too thin for ordinary engines and too cold for ordinary courage, driven by ambition, scientific curiosity, and the fear that whatever is happening overhead is not confined to one flight path. High above the familiar world, they encounter baffling phenomena that challenge physics, visibility, and human control, forcing them to choose between personal triumph and urgent responsibility. Fast, pulpy, and packed with early aviation wonder, this classic tale pushes exploration into the realm where the atmosphere ends and the unknown begins.
