The Hindenburg Did Not Burn
A Novel of the Airship Century

About this book:

The *Hindenburg* touches down at Lakehurst in a storm of static electricity—and survives. In that single, shimmering moment, history fractures. The age of the ocean liner ends; the Airship Century begins.

By 1939, silver leviathans stitch continents together in floating luxury, their dining rooms humming with diplomats, industrialists, and spies. But beneath the silk wall coverings and clinking crystal, the duralumin ribs groan under the weight of impossible choices. Hugo Eckener fights to keep his sky-empire neutral as Göring demands bomb bays in the keels. Chief Engineer Hoffmann hears the fatal harmonics in the engines that could tear the fleet apart. And in the promenade windows, the shadow of war stretches long across the Atlantic clouds.

*The Hindenburg Did Not Burn* is a soaring alternate-history thriller where the greatest weapon isn't the hydrogen in the gas cells—it's the secrets carried in the passenger manifest. For readers of *The Plot Against America* and *Leviathan*, this is the twentieth century that never was: elegant, terrifying, and held aloft by nothing but engineering genius and the thin, cold air between peace and catastrophe.
