Science can create miracles, but can it replace magic ? Science can make a man fly, can provide sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, can light the darkness and send our voice to the stars, but can it bring beauty to a single heart ? What happens when science has answered all the questions and there’s no more space for imagination anymore ?
The future is in jeopardy, but there is a plan.
The Professor has travelled back in time to save us all. He has been sent to the Victorian Age, the last brief flourishing of a shared belief in both the majesty of scientific progress and the faith in the invisible world of faerie and hearth-magics.
But he can’t save us alone. It will take not the team of amazingly gifted individuals he has gathered around him, but a boy. A very special boy who has no idea what adventures await him.

Hugely compelling idea AND pitch! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThanks - this was the pitch I agonized MOST over, as I wanted to keep it to eleveator pitch length.
ReplyDeleteHad to make cuts that would make James Cameron cry ...
the Golden Age continues to be more compelling, and if it had its druthers, I'm afraid the cigar-chompers would chew up a Steamy faerie or two in a heart's beat
ReplyDeletewell, i must say (and i AM biased), this is my favorite concept. i LOVE the idea of meshing tech, science, and majick, bending the mind in twists with faerie lore and urban landscape. i can see the characters, i can see the buildings, the airships, the fantastic and the factual, all melding together in a miasm of mystery, daring, and drama.
ReplyDeletebut i digress...
