INTRODUCING THE WORLD'S FIRST
STEAMPUNK SUPERHERO!
1926. New York. The Roaring Twenties. Jazz. Flappers. Prohibition.
Coal-powered cars. A cold war with a British Empire that still covers
half of the globe. Yet things have developed differently to established
history. America is in the midst of a cold war with a British Empire
that has only just buried Queen Victoria, her life artificially
preserved to the age of 107. Coal-powered cars roar along roads thick
with pedestrians, biplanes take off from standing with primitive rocket
boosters and monsters lurk behind closed doors and around every corner. This is a time in need of heroes. It is a time for The Ghost.
A series
of targeted murders are occurring all over the city, the victims found
with ancient Roman coins placed on their eyelids after death. The trail
appears to lead to a group of Italian-American gangsters and their
boss, who the mobsters have dubbed "The Roman". However, as The Ghost
soon discovers, there is more to The Roman than at first appears, and
more bizarre happenings that he soon links to the man, including
moss-golems posing as mobsters and a plot to bring an ancient pagan god
into the physical world in a cavern beneath the city. As The Ghost
draws nearer to The Roman and the center of his dangerous web, he must
battle with foes both physical and supernatural and call on help from
the most unexpected of quarters if he is to stop The Roman and halt the
imminent destruction of the city.
