description: A breathtaking tale of passion and adventure in the untamed skies! Prosperity 1863: a lawless skytown where varlets chancers and neer-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 for the first time on mechanical book-reading devices) contains the complete original text of Piccadillys memoirs as first serialised in All the Year Round. Some passages may prove unsettling to unmarried gentlemen of a sensitive disposition.
