Sinossi
Stephen Baxter’s steam punk classic set in an alternate universe of late Victorian-era space travel.
1870: the power of the British Empire is supreme. The principles of Enhanced Conductance which are utilized by anti-ice have supercharged the Industrial Revolution. At the New Great Exhibition in Manchester, Ned Vicars, a young attache at the Foreign Office, meets the discoverer of anti-ice, Sir Josiah Traveller - and the beautiful Francoise. His fate is doubly sealed.
Before he learns the truth about Francois, Ned must survive an unscheduled trip to the Moon and back. But by then the world has gone mad. The only certainty is war... and anti-ice is the most powerful weapon humanity has ever possessed.

Cloth. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. Mr. Baxter has provided us with a cabinet of scientific marvels even more astonishing than Mr. Verne's. His convincing and detailed vision of a Victorian super-science powered by the Principles of Enhanced Conductance, a property of the British discovery anti-ice, takes us into space and to the Moon itself! It is a world where great bridges span the English Channel, glittering monorails carry passengers speedily across the globe and a titanic land line, The Prince Albert, prepares for her maiden voyage. The powerful conclusion has us gasping with surprise and fearful anticipation as Europe experiences the horrors of anti-ice warfare, and the fate of the whole globe hangs upon the final, desperate flight to our aerial yacht The Phaeton. A yarn which will appeal to all readers of H. G. Wells, George Griffith and their fellow Kings of Scientific Romance. Pursuing both a plot of political skulduggery and romance, and a heated debate on the consequences of man's power over nature, the new star of British science fiction has written a baroque epic of dazzling originality. 280 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.

Octavo, boards. First edition. The author's third novel.
