Cradled in sumptuous luxury and pampered in a way only the richest can afford, the whole world is laid out before them for their gratification. But beneath this dignified calm, all is not well...

Following the disasterous crash of her competitor, a rebuilt R 100 airship sets out on a journey to every corner of the British Empire

Told through a cast of characters, both fictional and real, whose fates interweave during the voyage of the "Ethylwyn," the story incorporates an accurate insight to the technology of the day. The central protagonist, Clara is a great character. Intelligent, beautiful, a little damaged, courageous and filled with joie de vivre, her relationship with two totally different men is at the core of the novel's emotional pacing.

Industry Reviews

Penelope Haines: "A fascinating story told through a cast of characters both fictional and real, whose fates interweave during the voyage of the "Ethylwyn." When writing about the airship it is clear the author is on home-territory and his narration is very confident and effective.

The central protagonist, Clara is a great character. Intelligent, beautiful, a little damaged, courageous and filled with joie de vivre, her relationship with two totally different men is at the core of this novel's emotional pacing.

Thoroughly recommend, "Ethylwyn" is an entertaining and informative read."

Raewyn Hewitt: "A beautifully written mystery that unfolds against the glamorous backdrop of airship travel. Pat evokes a sense of nostalgia that transports you back to an era that ended all too soon."

Neale Ames: "Based around the author's vast knowledge of airships and painstaking research, illicit love, danger and treachery make for an exciting and informative journey."
