Lieutenant Jefferson Turck is a naval officer from Pan-America, the unified supercontinent and dominant world power of the 22nd Century. Though he is only twenty-one, he is greatly respected by the crew of the aero-submarine Coldwater. Coming from a long line of soldiers and sailors, Turck longs for adventure. But in the year 2137, such exploration outside of the Pan-American regions is forbidden. Merely crossing beyond a line on a map is considered treason punishable by death. The globe between 30° W. and 175° W. is a mystery except for tall tales and ancient histories. When equipment failures befall the Coldwater the ship veers dangerously close to the “dead line.” Violent storms worsen the situation, and tensions rise as some sailors fear danger on the other side or punishment from their own government. In the midst of it all, Turck feels only a sense of excitement—what lies beyond thirty? The ship’s captain and a small complement of sailors set out to find help anywhere they can, and end up in a land that is far from what they expected.

John Buchan's name is known across the world for The Thirty-Nine Steps. In the past one hundred years the classic thriller has never been out of print and has inspired numerous adaptations for film, television, radio and stage, beginning with the celebrated version by Alfred Hitchcock. Yet there was vastly more to 'JB'. He wrote more than a hundred books – fiction and non-fiction – and a thousand articles for newspapers and magazines. He was a scholar, antiquarian, barrister, colonial administrator, journal editor, literary critic, publisher, war correspondent, director of wartime propaganda, member of parliament and imperial proconsul – given a state funeral when he died, a deeply admired and loved Governor-General of Canada. His teenage years in Glasgow's Gorbals, where his father was the Free Church minister, contributed to his ease with shepherds and ambassadors, fur-trappers and prime ministers. His improbable marriage to a member of the aristocratic Grosvenor family means that this account of his life contains, at its heart, an enduring love story. Ursula Buchan, his granddaughter, has drawn on recently discovered family documents to write this comprehensive and illuminating biography. With perception, style, wit and a penetratingly clear eye, she brings vividly to life this remarkable man and his times.
