The astonishing true story of John Pomeroy—inventor, adventurer, entrepreneur and rogue.

Born in New Zealand, Pomeroy’s genius emerged early, from childhood patents to inventions that earned him international fame. His explosive bullet helped defeat the dreaded Zeppelin raids of World War I, bringing wealth, honours and controversy. Yet behind the success lay failed fortunes, turbulent marriages, court appearances, bold schemes and relentless innovation. From New Zealand fishing boats to wartime Britain, America, China and beyond, this remarkable biography traces the extraordinary life of a man who never stopped inventing—or courting trouble.
