Publisher's summary

When Captain Benjamin Bantam is tapped to go back in time in order to retrieve a cure for the vicious Shadow plague, he is shocked to arrive in an alternate 1944 where electricity doesn't exist. Instead, a parallel past has mysteriously arisen - complete with parasols, stunningly luxurious Aerotels, hydrologic computing, Helux-powered "cloud growlers" and a space elevator-based moon race with Germany. And of course, there is the lovely Dr. Rachelle Archenstone....

But when Hitler is made Chancellor in this world and the American space program sabotaged, Bantam is the only one who realizes the true depth of the danger posed by the newly-formed Nazi party. Together with Rachelle, he races to save this America while seeking an explanation to the mystery of this alternate past - and with it, a way to return to his own world with the Shadow's cure. But when it comes down to a choice between his lovely Rachelle and a thousand years of Nazi rule, what will he do?

Thrill to a tale of a Yesterday that never was - and yet was!

The Return to Aether

I listened to this years ago, and enjoyed it immensely. Just like Ptolemy and Max, this story is full of the sort of science fantasy that is often hard to find. Upon re-listening, I must say that it still itches that spot that my own arms seek but can seldom reach. I am a bear; Aether is the tree.

Mister Jeffrey, thank you for putting your quill to the parchment. I still want a standalone Aether-Verse Cliff Cleveland story. Perhaps a rollicking yarn “written” by Cliff himself, detailing his exploits in space. It doesn’t matter if it’s genuine Aether cannon or fanciful propaganda meant to sell magical golden floating gas. As long as it exists, I’ll read it.

And if you should ever decide that a namshub might tyrannically combine the Quick, Ptolemy and Aether-Verses, I will be on that as well.

Cheers and huzzah!
