AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Young adults Tarquin, Jonah and Leonara are recent escapees from The Royal Jericho Hospital.
Already challenged by severe physical and mental disabilities, at Jericho they were treated as little more than laboratory rats by evil Governor Bernard and his depraved Chief Physician, Dr. David.
Armed with new hi-tech combat equipment supplied by Tarquin's trusted servant Stan, our heroes return to Jericho to rescue Aunt Edith.'

Notes
-
Steampunk Note: The mechanical prostheses and augmentations of this story are decidedly steampunk in nature, and the early 20th century setting, though later than most steampunk, remains resonant with the typical period of the style. Furthermore, the focus on the outcasts, fringe figures and lowlifes of society, and their relationships with repressive social forces is a common steampunk theme.
