Clockwork Memories

Imagine what the galaxy would look like if the Victorians had rediscovered space flight. Would any pirate worth his salt settle for raiding a small patch of islands like the Caribbean when he could have an entire star system instead? Most accomplished ladies excel in art, music, and dance. Not that such skills helped Faith Earnshaw survive exploding spaceships, planetside skirmishes and a lack of nineteenth century plumbing. Just when everything falls into place and Faith realizes who her fiancée truly is and what his intentions are with her, she thinks she might have a chance to live happily-ever-after with her Prince Charming. Or that's what she thinks before their ship is attacked and they are boarded by French pirates. Faith and her friend, Sumiko, must quickly learn the subtle arts of subterfuge and stealing memories so they can outwit their captors and find out Lord Klark's plans. If they fail, it will mean death to them and those they hold dear.
