Steam, skyships, and a fight for freedom in a world ruled by gears and greed.
In an alternative Victorian Britain where steam powers everything and freedom is disappearing, six unlikely companions become the crew of an extraordinary airship. Hunted across Britain and America, they battle corrupt politicians, ruthless industrialists and impossible odds in a thrilling trilogy full of action, invention, humour and hope.
One day in 1860, everything changed for everyone, everywhere.
In London, in an age when steam and clockwork power is all-important, a series of events throws Oliver, Jake and Charlotte into conflict with the authorities. They come from very different backgrounds and join forces with an escaped slave, a street urchin and a prostitute to form an airship crew - The Rebel Runaways. With the country in the hands of the army and beset by street gangs, escape is their priority. When they realise the depths to which the corrupt government and a wicked industrialist are willing to stoop, they turn to face the enemy.
Life will never be the same again for the crew and for the world, but unless the Rebel Runaways can succeed, society will slide into an abyss.
