I enjoyed reading this story. It is about a man passing on his life lessons to his son. He begins talking about going to his father's grave and then starts talking about an airship called the Empire that he worked on. We are taken from the wharfs of Philadelphia, to an airship, to the Aztec empire in Mexico. This story is an alternate-history story, taking place after the Revolutionary War.
The narrator tells the story in pieces, skipping between the timeline of his life. It was interesting to be aboard a British airship in one paragraph and the next be back at home with narrator, telling his son to keep the fire burning. The story being told boils down to one thing: love. It is a love story told in the most roundabout way.
