The year is
1889. Queen Victoria rules over the greatest Empire known to man, stretching
not only around the Earth but across the gulf of space to Mars and beyond.
Ether Flyers patrol the inner solar system while above the towers of the
ancient canal cities Sky Galleons sail the winds of Mars. The Martians
themselves, tall, proud inheritors of a decaying civilisation, view these
'Red Men' with their strange ways and their powerful machines with a mixture
of fear and fascination, a dangerous combination. But the lure of Mars
is great. Here a man, or lady, might find adventure, riches, fame, knowledge
or a horrible death.
