Summary "Frank Reade Jr. and His Engine of the Clouds" by Luis Senarens is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the daring exploits of the talented young inventor Frank Reade Jr., who constructs a remarkable flying machine known as the "Engine of the Clouds." The narrative kicks off with a suspenseful scene involving a boy named Joe Crosby, who has escaped from captivity and is ensnared in a dark plot related to his fortune, setting the stage for action, intrigue, and the quest for justice as Frank and his companions embark on a chase. The opening of the story introduces us to a desolate Chicago night where young Joe Crosby, having escaped his cruel stepfather, encounters a detective named Tom Reynard. As Rennard follows Joe, tensions build around the boy's alleged inheritance and a sinister plot. After an altercation with his stepfather, Joe is tragically shot, prompting Frank Reade Jr. to step into the narrative as he prepares to pursue the villain responsible using his intriguing airship invention. The stage is set for a thrilling adventure filled with fantastical inventions, clever companions, and a relentless hunt for justice against the backdrop of early 20th-century technology.
