Airship Over the Mountain (Steampunk Series)

The airship, “HMS Standish” floats above the towering mountain peaks in all her Victorian splendor sailing slowly and serenely towards undiscovered lands beyond on a mission of exploration. Boldly going where no man, no, wait that’s the starship Enterprise …never mind.

Umm, did you know that HMS stands for “her or his majesty’s ship”?

 

What is Steampunk?

Steampunk is modern technology—iPads, computers, robotics, air travel—powered by steam and set in the 1800’s. It is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West at hand, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion, and mechanics. If Jules Verne or H.G. Wells were writing their science fiction today, it would be considered “steampunk.” Over the years, steampunk has evolved into more than just a sub-genre of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Steampunk now extends into fashion, engineering, music, and for some, a lifestyle. ~ Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences
