Flight Opens a New Frontier for Crime
Stories of air piracy belong to the early age of flight. When aircraft and airships were new, writers asked a simple question. What if the sea lanes, where pirates once preyed on ships, were threatened from above? The idea made the old pirate tale feel fresh and a little frightening.
The Atlantic gives such a story a vast and lonely stage. Ships cross it carrying passengers, goods and secrets, and help is far away. A raider who could strike from the clouds would seem almost unstoppable.
For a reader, this setting promises both wonder and menace. The sky is open and beautiful, yet nobody can hide in it. That tension is the engine of this kind of adventure.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
