SYNOPSIS: “Michael Faraday lives in a London that is at war. But it is not quite like London as we know it. Queen Victoria rides out from Buckingham Palace in a hovercar. Sir Winston Churchill is her Prime Minister. Over the force field that protects the city, Zeppelins and jet fighters and guided missiles are locked in combat.
There are two kinds of people in London: the fragiles and the drybones. The fragiles can bleed, the drybones cannot; Michael Faraday is a fragile. His friends are Ernest Rutherford, Horatio Nelson, Emily Bronte, Jane Austen.
Michael learns to read forbidden books, discovers that the Thames is not a river and that history has gone dreadfully wrong. Finally he discovers what has happened to mankind.”
