MacDonald Harris's only hitherto unpublished novel is set in the 1920's against
a backdrop of airships, mysticism, erotic love and a Europe that is picking
itself up after WW1.
The League of Nations is a giant airship constructed by the same German factory
that made the Zeppelin, and has been acquired by Moira, the mystic and
clairvoyant leader of a semi-religious cult. The captain is Georg von Plautus, a
Prussian WW1 Zeppelin commander who harbours a terrible secret from a bombing
raid over London in 1916. Moira and her followers have embarked on an
extraordinary voyage in this airship to a place that she calls Giaconda.
This breath-taking novel explores the lives of the characters on board, taking
the reader through a heady mix of sexual entanglements, metaphysics, and
Blavatsky and Swedenborg-influenced séances. Towards the end of the novel it is
apparent that all of Moira's devotees have something in common in their
backgrounds.
