The Tunnel Thru the Air, published in 1927, is the only novel by William D. Gann, the stock and commodity trader famous for his theories of market cycles. Its hero, Robert Gordon, a young man from Texas, studies the Bible and the laws of nature and becomes a successful speculator in cotton and stocks, while pursuing a romance with Marie Stanton and working on an airship that he later puts to use in defense of America in a future war. Gann wrote in his foreword that the book was at once a romance, a moral lesson and a demonstration of the value of science, and readers of market lore have long searched it for hidden forecasts and coded trading methods. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
