Synopsis

In Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein - The 'Uncensored' Original 1818 Edition', the reader is transported into a world of gothic horror and ethical dilemmas. The text explores themes of isolation, humanity, and the consequences of playing god through the story of Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Shelley's rich and descriptive prose elevates the narrative, creating a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the last page is turned. This groundbreaking novel is a must-read for fans of classic literature and those interested in the origins of science fiction. Mary Shelley, the daughter of pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin, was inspired to write 'Frankenstein' during a literary competition with Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. Her personal experiences of loss and grief undoubtedly influenced the depth and complexity of the novel, making it a timeless work of literature. I highly recommend 'Frankenstein - The 'Uncensored' Original 1818 Edition' to readers seeking a thought-provoking and immersive reading experience. Shelley's masterful storytelling and examination of human nature make this classic novel a staple in any literary collection.

    Can vengeance against an ancient enemy wash away her centuries of shame? 
    They come from the smoky depths of Hell’s Pit. Remnants of the shattered Pious Legion, these hateful castoffs of Earth’s Roman Empire, seek to conquer. Armed with maddening gas, Maximinus Thrax’s airships swarm the skies like vengeful locusts, reducing entire populations to ash. 
    For Boudica, the forgotten Queen of the Iceni, it’s a familiar fate. Having failed against Nero on Earth, her civilization was wiped from history due to her backfired efforts of liberation. 
    As Thrax’s assault eliminates the peaceful enclaves of New Dis, what can the failed warrior queen do to protect her city, the innocent peoples within, and her beloved friends? Will Boudica shake off her anonymous refuge and crushing shame to face the Romans once more, or collapse into the dust of history once more?
