Prosperity

Prosperity

<i>A breathtaking tale of passion and adventure in the untamed skies!</i> <p> 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. <p> <i>Thrill!</i> As our hero battles dreadful kraken above Prosperity. <i>Gasp!</i> As the miracles of clockwork engineering allow a dead man to wreak his vengeance upon the living. <i>Marvel!</i> At the aerial escapades of the aethership, Shadowless. <p> <i>Beware! </i>The licentious and unchristian example set by the opium-addled navigatress, Miss Grey. <i>Disapprove Strongly!</i> Of the utter moral iniquity of the dastardly crime prince, Milord. Swoon! At the dashing skycaptain, Byron Kae. <i>Swoon Again!</i> At the tormented clergyman, Ruben Crowe. <p> 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 <i>All the Year Round</i>. Some passages may prove unsettling to unmarried gentlemen of a sensitive disposition.
