SPACE 1889 - THE STEPPES OF THOTHIn Syrtis Major’s corridors of power, a threat to the British Empire’s
dominion over Mars is close to discovery, and Governor-General Sir Henry
Routledge faces ruin if it ever comes to light.
In the wilderness of the Thoth Steppes, enemy powers, savage tribesmen and
even nature herself bar the way to the wreckage of a lost Ether Flyer, and
the secrets it hides.
For Captain Roger St. John Ffolkes, it is a mission he cannot refuse; for
the adventuress Georgina Golightly, a journey that will risk all - and for
Mars, it is the chance to save a world…or ignite a war.

“Now be thankful for good things….”

As fall gives way to winter, and the wild winds tear the leaves from the trees, our thoughts turn to gathering at warm firesides, renewing our ties to friends, family, clan, & tribe. This month’s theme is Common Ground: in the spirit of thanksgiving, we welcome your tales of connection & reconciliation, or different people finding what they share, plus tales of changes, rites of passage, & all the ordinary and extraordinary transitions that make up our lives. Those without a tale to tell are always welcome to come share in the good cheer!

Sponsored by the Caledon Library & the Clan of Seafarers and Storytellers, and hosted by master storyteller Aldo Stern
