"A breathtaking tale of passion and adventure in the untamed skies " Prosperity, 1863: a lawless skytown where varlets, chancers, and ne'er-do-wells risk everything to chase a fortune in the clouds, and where a Gaslight guttersnipe named Piccadilly is about to cheat the wrong man. This mistake will endanger his life . . . and his heart. "Thrill "As our hero battles dreadful kraken above Prosperity. "Gasp " As the miracles of clockwork engineering allow a dead man to wreak his vengeance upon the living. "Marvel "At the aerial escapades of the aethership, "Shadowless." "Beware "The licentious and unchristian example set by the opium-addled navigatress, Miss Grey. "Disapprove Strongly "Of the utter moral iniquity of the dastardly crime prince, Milord. "Swoon " At the dashing skycaptain, Byron Kae. "Swoon Again " At the tormented clergyman, Ruben Crowe. This volume (available in print, and for the first time on mechanical book-reading devices) contains the complete original text of Piccadilly's memoirs as first serialised in "All the Year Round." Some passages may prove unsettling to unmarried gentlemen of a sensitive disposition.
