'England's first disabled superheroes!
Tarquin Price, a young aristocrat, returns from The Great War with horrendous physical and psychological wounds.
Left to rot in London's Royal Jericho Hospital, a dumping ground for the disabled and insane, he experiences horrors which surpass even what he suffered on the Western Front.
With his friends Jonah and Leonora, each of whom face their own mental and physical challenges, Tarquin escapes from Jericho and vows vengeance on all who exploit the weak and the lame.'

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.
