Introduction to the rudiments of programming using the Open Source Language, Boo.

If you have ever looked up in the air and dreamed of flight as a plane flew over, buckle up and strap in for a raucous, sometimes raunchy and entertaining ride with a cast of characters from history - who deliver the Lost Souls back to The Source.
Assume that OZ, who looks like an old black man and happens to be a supreme being, taps an errant "Knight of the Air" on the eve of WW-1. After his first death and reincarnation, OZ gives him a choice - accept or decline a mission of paramount importance. Create a flying machine with reincarnated people from all times and walks of life, since the beginning of flight and deliver the Lost Souls back to The Source. Their delivery will re-establish balance in the Hall of Souls positively changing the world.
Since the dawn of flight, a Lost Soul is one that has become trapped, caused by the violence of their passing in an aviation disaster during war or peace. The accumulation of these souls is negatively affecting our world today and if they aren't delivered back to The Source, it could lead to disaster.
The cast of characters includes forgotten, past and recent people. The story is laced with conflict, passion and sabotage - along with the songs that accompany life and death. The metaphysical, the mysterious, the humorous and the just plain weird crop up as this diverse group wines, dines and creates their way towards their goal.
