Speculative Fiction's standard tropes and clichés are about to get a reboot the genre is never likely to forgive or forget.
From bawdy wenches in Georgian London to fighting for civil rights and sexual equality in the American War for Emancipation, journey from Washington to Newstead Abbey, to flying above planet Earth in an alien spaceship, Lord Byron and Captain Sally do it all - but not without coming to blows as the great, Romantic poet of his age meets his match in the no-nonsense, battle hardened, Freedom Road riding, sabre wielding feminist with a score to settle.
And who knows... it could all be true.
All his life Byron yearned to be recognised as a true hero a man of action and valour - we thought it mere vanity, the reckless posturing of a feckless dandy, but the clues have always been there hidden in the true Byronic canon - revealed here for the first time; unbeknown to us all, Earth's true swashbuckling saviour was the 'mad, bad and dangerous to know, ' Lord George Byron.
