Yuletide Miracle
(2013)2.5
(The third book in the Steam Clock Legacy series)
A Novella by Robert Appleton
By day, London's Steam Emporium is both a bustling Christmas market and an all-ages toyshop full of technological marvels. By night, its volunteers assemble - a ragtag community of wounded servicemen and women - under the tallest Christmas tree in England. They are the empire's forgotten heroes, fallen on hard times.
But this year they have an exciting addition: old Red Mulqueen, newly arrived from abroad, has fighting spirit and the most extraordinary clockwork leg. He is here on a mysterious mission, and is wanted by the Leviacrum, Britain's tyrannical authority.
Red's plans take a turn, however, when he saves the life of a feisty young schoolboy, Edmond Reardon, and becomes the object of the lad's incorrigible curiosity. They strike up a touching friendship. But when danger descends on the emporium, Red, Edmond and their veteran friends must band together to fight for what really matters at Christmas - each other.
Genre: Science Fiction
