The Augmentors - E-book - ePub

"We are doing things that only gods have dreamed of doing before." In the heart of London, 15-year-old George Moore works with his uncle to erase the political stain left by his father, who was blamed for turning a technological breakthrough designed to bring unparalleled glory to the British Empire into a horrific disaster. Now, under the leadership of George's uncle, Sir Lawrence Moore, the ministry is on the cusp of another giant leap forward-a technological marvel unlike anything seen before: The Sky Locomotive, a grand vessel that will change the way citizens travel in the British Empire...and beyond. But that's not all that will change.
While George works to unsully his family's reputation, he uncovers a nefarious plot that threatens to reshape the Empire itself-and not for the better. In a society driven by secrets, lies, propaganda, and dangerous technologies, George faces powerful enemies and interests. Can he rise above his loyalties to prevent more atrocities, or will he witness the end of an experiment that never should have started?
