"Round the World in Seven Days" by Herbert Strang is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. Following the protagonist, Lieutenant Charles Thesiger Smith, the narrative captures his exhilarating journey to save his father, a famed geologist stranded on an island in the Solomon Sea, after their ship wrecks during a storm. The story is filled with suspense as Smith pilots his aeroplane across vast distances, encountering various challenges and strange lands along the way. The opening of the book establishes a dramatic scenario with the shipwreck of the "Albatross", led by Lieutenant George Underhill, who faces a cyclone while navigating the Solomon Islands. As the ship succumbs to the storm, Dr. Thesiger Smith and his son Tom are introduced, hinting at their significant roles in the unfolding story. Shortly after, the perspective shifts to Lieutenant Charles Thesiger Smith, who is grounded in an unforeseen mishap during his flight, ultimately learning of his father's dire situation through a distressing newspaper article. This ignites his determination to embark on an urgent journey to provide help, setting the stage for a series of thrilling escapades as he maneuvers to secure resources and navigate a perilous course around the globe.
