We have all been lied to—a great and sinister conspiracy exists to keep us from uncovering the truth about our past. Have you ever wondered how Victorians like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells dreamed up all that fantastic futuristic fiction?
Did it ever occur to you that it might have been based upon fact?
That War of The Worlds was a true account of real events?
That Captain Nemo’s Nautilus even now lies rusting at the bottom of the North Sea?
And what about the other stuff?
Did you know, for instance, that Jack the Ripper was a terminator robot sent from the future?
In this book, learn how a cabal of Victorian Witches from the Chiswick Townswomen’s Guild, working with advanced Babbage super computers, rewrote 19th-century history, and how a 21st-century boy called Billy Starling uncovered the truth about everything.
