The story revolves around Sir John Custance, the Chief Commissioner of Air Police for Great Britain, as he grapples with a series of audacious air pirate attacks threatening civilian airliners. As he faces this new wave of crime, the narrative explores themes of duty, courage, and love, particularly through his relationship with a famous actress, Constance Shepherd, who becomes entangled in the conflict. The opening of the novel introduces Sir John Custance just before a critical journey to Plymouth, where he is summoned to address a pressing matter involving a recent air pirate incident. As he travels to meet Constance, who is set to travel to America via air-liner, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation and underlying tension. The reader is gradually exposed to the severity of the air piracy issue facing the world, culminating when the situation escalates dramatically with the pirating of the "Atlantis", a transatlantic air-liner, during which Constance is reported missing. Sir John’s mix of personal and professional challenges sets the stage for a gripping adventure filled with intrigue and high stakes.
