Inhaltsangabe

George Enfield had inherited a house and a fortune after his granddad had suddenly died. However, the inheritance came with the condition that George would keep his granddad's inventing business going. It came as a bit of a shock when George discovered that his first invention was to be a device that would hover without using wings and vertical propellers. When he investigated the details, it became obvious he would need to invent a device with antigravity properties. Eventually, George got in touch with his university sweetheart, Sparky, who had a gift of understanding electromagnetism. The two of them set about devising a combination of coils that, when combined in a certain configuration and connected electrically, eventually produced a form of levitation. After some time, they constructed a device that could levitate to a height of approximately fifty metres. Elsie (their housekeeper who was inherited from Granddad) witnessed the grand event; subsequently, they demonstrated it to several businesses who said they would be interested in investing. During the construction process, George and Sparky's love for each other became rekindled, and they married. Subsequently, Sparky was kidnapped by a company who wanted to discover the secrets of their device. Eventually, George and Sparky were able to resolve a long-standing family mystery.
