About This Book

THE SI LAM WILL FUSE AGAIN!

Moosefoot AFB houses the most secret aircraft in America's arsenal: the Samuel Langley—a nuclear-powered steam locomotive. attack bomber? The ultimate steam machine, waiting thirty years to sail the sky...

Langley has problems. A few. It's enormous. It's radioactive. It's never been flown. It's too big to evade missiles, too slow to outfly a drunk seagull, it might explode on takeoff...and it has nowhere to land.

But in a moment of mini-crisis, the White House orders Colonel Bob Muth and his loyal crew to launch Langley. Now it's up—and not coming down, flying full steam ahead to make the world witness the most triumphant dream in the glorious history of Steam...

Even if it starts World War III
