Steve Jobs 1955-2011 & Me

Follow the adventures of Lord Jonathan Void, his daughter Lady Elizabeth and a cast of Victorian gentry and villany including the mysterious Magister, K’Lar, the gentleman ape, Vice-Marshall Abrahams and Lieutant Greaves. Be astonished at the might of the rail steam jugernaut The Imperium and the commercial shannanigans of Crystal.
