Drake had never imagined that he’d return to his seafaring life. But then he also never imagined that his adoptive father would be kidnapped by three large, “persuasive,” Hawaiians in an airship. If McTrowell has any hope of answering the most important question he’s ever asked her, she’s going to test the limits of the resources available to them as members of Her Majesty’s Eyes and Ears. And why won't anyone just tell Drake & McTrowell the truth?

The year is 1851. We find adventurer Dr. Sparky McTrowell regaling her colleagues with the tale of The Pecos Incident. How hard could it be to get the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo signed?

The future could be yours. Or you could go mad. Do you dare look into the Clockwork Oracle?
The Oracles at Delphi have long predicted the future for those willing to make the journey and pay homage. This truth is told in Hellenic texts. But what is not told is that the Oracle is far more than a priestess caught in the visions of the gods.
The Clockwork Oracle was crafted by gods and lost by mortals millennia past. Join us in an adventure through the lost and found of ancient history, through the streets of Victorian London, the halls of Versailles, the battlefields of the War to End All Wars, the futuristic city of Nova Arete, the digital corridors of the Internet, and the exoplanets of Orion.
