The Time of Miracles is a collection of short stories set in an alternate steampunk London in the year 1873. The city is a dangerous place, filled with corrupt politicians, monolithic companies with private armies bent on world domination, roving gangs of crooks, and bobbies indistinguishable from the criminals they are supposed to apprehend. Amidst this chaos, everyone else is just trying to survive in the lawless world of The Time of Miracles.
