The Philosopher's Flight

The Philosopher’s Flight is an exhilarating debut novel that transports readers to a World War I-era America where empirical philosophy—a female-dominated science—is used to harness wind, heal, and even fly. Following 18-year-old Robert Weekes as he navigates the challenges of studying at an all-women’s college and pursuing his dream of becoming a flying medic, the story blends elements of thriller, romance, and coming-of-age fantasy. Amidst political radicals and dangerous mindsets, Robert teams up with a diverse group of heroes to fight for his place in the emerging field of philosophy and for its survival against oppressive forces.
