Join the Hudson Library & Historical Society for an in-person author event on Wednesday, May 10 at 6:30 p.m. with bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist, S.C. Gwynne, to discuss his new book, His Majesty’s Airship: The Life and Tragic Death of the World’s Largest Flying Machine. His Majesty’s Airship is the stunning historical tale of the rise and fall of the world’s largest airship—and the doomed love story between an ambitious British officer and a married Romanian Princess at its heart. Kirkus opines, “A sturdy, well-paced contribution to aviation history.” Please note that this event is not virtual but will be held IN PERSON at the Hudson Library & Historical Society.

S.C. Gwynne is the author of Hymns of the Republic and the New York Times bestsellers Rebel Yell and Empire of the Summer Moon, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He spent most of his career as a journalist, including stints with Time as bureau chief, national correspondent, and senior editor, and with Texas Monthly as executive editor.
