- Summary
- It is 1848 and the British Empire has grown rich exploiting Lilliputian slaves - the finesse of their working allowing unheard-of feats of minature engineering; even Babbage's computing device has been made to work. But now the French have formed a regiment of previously peaceful Brobdingnagian giants and invasion looms. In a world where humanity is both smaller and larger than it once was, love and hate loom large. Adam Roberts has written both a rip-roaring 19th century adventure, a love story and a thought-provoking pre-atomic SF novel about our place in the universe.
