A Wellsian sequel to Gullivers Travels and a unique piece of SF literature all of its own. It is 1848 and the British Empire has grown rich exploiting Lilliputian slaves the finesse of their working allowing unheard of feats of miniature engineering; even Babbages computing device has been made to work. But now the French have formed a regiment of previously peaceful Brobdingnagian giants and invasion looms. In a world where humanity is both smaller and larger than it once was, love and hate loom large. Mankind discovers itself at the center of scale. Lilliputians are 12 times smaller than us but there are those 12 times smaller than them, and 12 times smaller again and so on. And the scale of being goes up from Swifts giants, as well. This Wellesian sequel to Gullivers Travels is a unique piece of sci-fi literature.
