โฆ Synopsis
Tom Fleet is a bit of a misfit, as the second son of a minor English noble in the 1880s. Once he finishes his schooling he has little to do. His grandfathers have left him adequate finances for his needs, and with his elder brother set to take the title, he gives in to his fascination with gadgets and begins to tinker and invent. His goal is to create a sky craft to go to the moon. Surely, if Jules Vernes characters could go there and many other places, he can as well...
Rowan Farrell followed in his Uncle Gordons footsteps, joining the UniFleet, but went a step farther and became an officer. Now in 2309, assigned to his first command-level post, he takes a small patrol ship to scout a region of interest to the Council and report if he discovers any signs of the enemy Angevirian Empire in the area. When a member of his crew spots a strange, tiny craft, Rowan decides to capture and study it. After all, it could be an Angevirian Trojan horse.
But the odd cylindrical vessel holds only one man, unconscious and suffering from hypothermia and lack of oxygen. Stranger still, when the man awakens, he claims to have come from Earthfive centuries in the past!
Can a young Victorian gentleman with a penchant for tinkering find common ground with a bona fide spaceman?
