Early futuristic &quot;Adventure&quot; tale written in 1897, depicting the &mdash;then&mdash; far-flung world of the year of 1947.&nbsp;<br /><br />Both Steam and Diesel Punk aficionados will love this! Like the cover says; it&#39;s &quot;thoroughly MECHANICAL fun.&quot;&nbsp;<br /><br />The protagonist would make Edison jealous with his many gadgets and gizmos.
