ch. 4 Carnevous carnival

To understand its significance, Bobby and Gunny visit Third Earth, in the year 5010. The Traveler Patrick accesses a computer that predicts the future in which they save the Hindenburg: industrial spies working for Max would lead to the Nazis developing an atomic bomb and winning World War Two. Bobby and Gunny return to First Earth, only to find that Spader and Rose have gone ahead, seeking to stop Winn Farrow from shooting a firework rocket into the dirigible. Bobby is flown to the LZ-129's launch site by a female aeroplane pilot called Nancy Olsen (alias Jinx), who has been his client at the Hotel. There, he commandeers Max Rose's car and drives to the rocket's launch pad. Spader, misunderstanding, tries to stop the rocket from launching and Gunny holds him back.
