For George and Douglas Abernathy, life is on the up. Their new
android-building business is thriving and they are set to move from
their clockmaker's shop in Soho to a spectacular country mansion.
Then, the bombastic General Brassington forces the brothers to create a
mechanical soldier to help quell the Indian Mutiny. The resulting
steam-powered, clockwork soldier is promptly shipped to India.
The soldier's mission is clear, he must subdue the rebellious sepoys and
uphold the British Empire's interests. But after becoming embroiled in
the struggle, he's no longer certain who the true enemy is. When the
soldier uncovers a plot that could turn the tide of the conflict and
alter the nature of warfare, he must decide where his loyalty lies.
Meanwhile, Molly, the brothers' botanist teenage sister, faces her own
challenges while trying to create her dream garden at the family's new
home...
