Summary: "At the beginning of the 1900s, 1/6th of the world's wealthy vacationed in and around the tiny Georgia island of Jekyll. Captains of Industry like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Morgan, and Carnegie all called the Jekyll area home. Using this place of grandeur and elegance as a backdrop, an alternate history is explored between the World Wars. A time of great social, political, and technological upheaval. A time of ingenuity and anarchy. A time for some of the most brilliant, and horrible, minds of the 20th century to confront each other. And a time of great new heroes and fantastic new machines. Part historical fact, part clockwork, and part diesel punk, [this series] span[s] an age of furious advancement in machine technology while exploring the span of man's soul--whether evil or good."--Page [4] of cover
