It is 1973, and the stately airships of the Great Powers hold benign
sway over a peaceful world. The balance of power is maintained by the
British Empire - a most equitable and just Empire, ruled by the beloved
King Edward VIII. A new world order, with peace and prosperity for all
under the law. Yet, moved by the politics of envy and perverse
utopianism, not all of the Empire's citizens support the marvelous
equilibrium.
Flung from the North East Frontier of 1902 into this world of the future, Captain Oswald Bastable is forced to question his
most cherished ideals, discovering to his horror that he has become a
nomad of the time streams, eternally doomed to travel the wayward
currents of a chaotic multiverse.
The first in the trilogy, The Warlord of the Air sees Bastable fall in with the anarchists of this imperial society and
set in train a course of events more devastating than he could ever have imagined.
