A photographic discovery allows four adventurers to trace human souls to their ultimate destination! Led by two preeminent scientists, Thaddeus and Euphorus, the companions travel the globe, taking photos of escaping souls. Triangulating their misty routes, the companions seek to locate and explore the final destination of freed human souls. Yet formal manners prove to be mortal obstacles in primeval lands. Hunted by savage beasts, Tom must force his wealthy companions to abandon their accustomed manners. Their quest drops them into primitive societies where even Britain's best manners can't equal older social customs. Despite objections, they continue to photograph unfortunates succumbing to mortality. As they near their goal, success seems certain ... until they arrive. Will revelation of their discovery resolve the world's disputes or spark a religious war to destroy all civilizations? The fate of Earth's future depends on four learned companions as they face the most-unexpected SteamPunk eternal doom. SteamPunk explores Philosophy |
(Souls of Steam is appropriate for younger teenagers or older. They are written at the same level as Treasure Island, Harry Potter (1 - 3), or Xanth, with appropriate but muted violence, simple romantic allusions, and no sexual content.)
