Lords of the Stratosphere

More about the book

The narrative centers on a character whose credibility is questioned after he claims to have seen five columns of light, rather than just one. His dubious reputation and lack of intelligence cast doubt on his story, especially since he insists the columns maintain a consistent thickness, contradicting common knowledge about searchlight beams. This tension between belief and skepticism drives the plot, highlighting themes of perception and truth in the face of extraordinary claims.
