The snow never melts on Mount Kilimanjaro, for all that it is sited in equatorial Africa. Its peaks are places rarely visited, although an enterprising member of the Royal Society in London has placed an astronomical observatory on Kibo summit, positioned high above the plains where the air is clear and thin.

Miss Elizabeth Robinson, a lady engaged in charitable works in British East Africa - and also a agent of one of Her Majesty's Government's more secretive organisations - makes a visit to Observatory Mount and discovers that the astronomers are not the only people interested in the location.

This story is another sequel to Airships over Africa

I have aready started work on further sequels called African Designs, Clockwork Cabaret, The Steam Road, Camera Obscura and Imperial Lifeblood.
