Synopsis

SCIENCE HAS CONQUERED GRAVITY
BUT WOMEN STILL FIGHT FOR THE VOTE

The well-meaning but accident-prone heroes of Jerome K. Jerome's much-loved classic Three Men in a Boat return to make cheerful nonsense of an Edwardian steampunk world.

"I shall not be soaring into orbit in an anti-gravity bathysphere," I told Harris and George. A boat was bad enough, but as to a pleasure trip into the endless void, I said no, no, a thousand times no!

Yet somehow fate and anti-gravity soon found us levitating into the starry aether, and as I predicted, peril soon ensued. Fraudsters. Bank robbers. Zero gravity hustlers.

And suffragettes.

All while trying to figure out the operation of a sextant. Surely it can't be more difficult than opening a tin of pineapple.


"Jolly good fun! This rollicking interplanetary adventure succeeds as both historical science fiction and Edwardian pastiche, combining moments of real drama with amusing digressions. A winner."
David D. Levine, Hugo- and Nebula-winning author of Arabella of Mars
