Altsheler is a novel about a young man named John Scott, who becomes a soldier during World War I. The story takes place in the trenches of the Western Front, where John and his comrades face the constant danger of enemy attacks and bombardments. Despite the grim and dangerous conditions, John is determined to do his duty and fight for his country. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including his fellow soldiers, officers, and civilians caught up in the war. Throughout the novel, Johns experiences change him, turning him from a naive and innocent young man into a battle-hardened veteran. Eventually, he becomes part of a daring mission to take down a German observation balloon, known as a "sausage," that is used to spy on Allied forces. The mission is fraught with danger, but John and his comrades are determined to succeed. The novel concludes with an exciting and action-packed climax, as John and his fellow soldiers engage in a fierce battle with the enemy to bring down the sausage and secure victory for the Allied forces. Author Biography Joseph A. Altsheler was born on April 29, 1862, in Three Springs, Hart County, Kentucky, to Joseph and Louise Altsheler. He was a newspaper reporter, editor, and author of popular juvenile historical fiction. He wrote fifty novels and at least fifty-three short stories. Seven of his novels were in sequence. He worked as an editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1885. In 1892, he started to work for New York World and then as the editor of the Worlds tri-weekly magazine. He wrote childrens stories due to a lack of suitable stories. On May 30, 1880, Altsheler married Sarah Boles and had a son named Sidney. In 1914, during World War I Altsheler and his family were in Germany and they were forced to remain there. Altsheler died at the age of 57, on June 5, 1919, in New York. His wife, Sarah Boles died after 30 years. Their bodies are buried at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Although each of the thirty-two novels constitutes an independent story, Altsheler suggested reading in sequence for each series (that is, he numbered the volumes). You can read the remaining eighteen novels in any order. Details ISBN 9357485821 ISBN-13 9789357485821 Title The Hosts of the Air the Story of a Quest in the Great War Author Joseph A.
