Victorian adventurers, scientists, and soldiers explore and conquer the inner solar system. Great background info on the Victorian Age, steampunk inventions, a fun alternate history that blends real-world events and personages with fantasy. Venus is like the early earth, hot and swampy. Mars is the classic dying planet with canals and an advanced civilization. The European powers are sharpening their knives to carve up these extraplanetary riches, but not if the Martians have any say in the matter!  The system itself is a bit dodgy, especially regarding combat, but we never cared much.</blockquote>
