## Synopsis

A young inventor in industrializing England receives an unusual metal sphere from his grandfather. The object stores steam at a level far beyond ordinary machinery, which makes it valuable to people with very different plans for its use. When a powerful organization pursues the device, the boy is pulled into a conflict shaped by family disagreement, ambitious engineering and the threat of a weapon built on the same discovery. Chases and increasingly vast contraptions drive the adventure forward, while the drama centers on whom the inventor can trust and whether technological achievement excuses its consequences. The premise grows into a complete Action, Adventure, Drama and Sci Fi story without requiring any background from another title.
