The Great Stone of Sardis 

Early futuristic ‘Adventure’ tale written in 1897, depicting the —then— far-flung world of the year of 1947. 



Both Steam and Diesel Punk aficionados will love this! Like the cover says; it’s ‘thoroughly MECHANICAL fun.’ 



The protagonist would make Edison jealous with his many gadgets and gizmos.
