Hi everyone

A patron wants to reread a book he has read 4 or 5 years ago - I don't
know if it was a new book then or not. It is by an author not known for
science fiction but the patron thinks the last name start with a letter
somewhere amongst the first few letters of the alphabet. The story
involves a man who owns a transportation company and an airship comes
into it later in the story. He then travels to outer space.

Does this sound remotely familiar to anybody? Thanks in advance for any
help.

I am reposting this question again - we had trouble with our email
yesterday and I don't know if anybody received the question.
