| Summary | "Cities in the Air" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the late 1920s." The story delves into a future where humanity has constructed massive airborne cities, and it revolves around Captain Martin Brant, who leads an air expedition into battle against the vast European and Asiatic Federation fleets. As tensions rise with the impending threat of war, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of advanced aerial technology and the strategic importance of these floating cities. "The opening of the novel introduces readers to Captain Martin Brant aboard the American Federation Air-Cruiser 3885, who receives alarming news about an imminent attack from the European and Asiatic Federations." As Brant and his crew race against time, they prepare for war, with New York as their destination. The narrative sets the stage for high-stakes aerial battles, highlighting the grandeur of the airborne cities and the advanced technology powering them. As they near New York, Brant reflects on the dramatic transformation of society, where the earth lies mostly unpopulated beneath the flying metropolises, hinting at the intense conflict ahead. The stage is set for an epic struggle for survival in a world defined by its aerial advancements. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
