Those rebellious Americans never succeeded in gaining independence.Īrt and Myrtle had a number of adventures, starting with a raid on Larklight by alien spiders and saved the Empire with the help of a crew of Gilbert and Sullivan-type pirates (all orphans) and discovered that their mother was an alien being four billion years of age, who had actually created the solar system. As a result, the British Empire extends outside of Earth, through a solar system which is liveable and is populated with alien lifeforms. The Newton of our own universe was also an alchemist, but instead of the breakthrough in physics which made him a giant in our world, this Newton is famous for the breakthrough called the alchemical wedding, a process which allows spaceships (literally ships!) to travel through, not the vacuum of space, but the aether of mediaeval cosmology.
In the novel Larklight, we met Art and Myrtle Mumby, who lived with their parents in the house of the title, orbiting the Earth of a Victorian era in a universe in which Isaac Newton is known, not for the laws of gravity but for his achievements in alchemy.
