<div>The first book in a new series and a thrilling debut from ER doctor turned novelist Tom Miller, The Philosopher&rsquo;s Flight is an epic historical fantasy set in a World-War-I-era America that &ldquo;[begins] with rollicking fierceness that grabs readers from its opening lines and doesn&rsquo;t loosen its grip or lessen its hold all the way through. Miller&rsquo;s writing is intoxicating&rdquo; (Associated Press). HE&rsquo;S ALWAYS WANTED TO FLY LIKE A GIRL. Eighteen-year-old Robert Weekes is one of the few men who practice empirical philosophy&#8212;an arcane, female-dominated branch of science used to summon the wind, heal the injured, and even fly. He&rsquo;s always dreamed of being the first man to join the US Sigilry Corps&rsquo; Rescue and Evacuation Department, an elite team of flying medics, but everyone knows that&rsquo;s impossible: men can barely get off the ground. When a shocking tragedy puts Robert&rsquo;s philosophical abilities to the test, he rises to the occasion and wins a scholarship to study philosophy at Radcliffe College&#8212;an all-women&rsquo;s school. At Radcliffe, Robert hones his flying skills and strives to win the respect of his classmates, a host of formidable and unruly women. Robert falls hard for Danielle Hardin, a disillusioned young hero of the Great War turned political radical. But Danielle&rsquo;s activism and Robert&rsquo;s recklessness attract the attention of the same fanatical anti-philosophical group that Robert&rsquo;s mother fought against decades before. With their lives in mounting danger, Robert and Danielle band together with a team of unlikely heroes to fight for Robert&rsquo;s place among the next generation of empirical philosophers&#8212;and for philosophy&rsquo;s very survival against the men who would destroy it. &ldquo;Part thriller, part romance, part coming-of-age fantasy, The Philosopher&rsquo;s Flight&hellip;is as fun a read as you&rsquo;ll come across&hellip; Miller has already set a high bar for any book vying to be the most entertaining novel of [the year]&rdquo; (BookPage). Tom Miller writes with unrivaled imagination, ambition, and humor. The Philosopher&rsquo;s Flight is both a fantastical reimagining of American history and a beautifully composed coming-of-age tale for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.</div>
