"London, 2017. A long-dead ghost-nameless, all but formless, trapped beyond both the living and the afterlife--drifts through time in search fo himself. What happened to him? to the love of his life? His memories slip away like the tide, tantalizingly close but always receding. His lost world of steam, family, and horrific tragedy comes to him in flickers and gasps. But decades--the steam age, the war years, the age of counterculture--soon melt and disappear, consumed by a strange, hungry world of electricity and isolation. As more of him slips away each day, this nameless ghost is shepherded by a fellow spirit, his sole companion in our foreign reality--a circus fortune teller tethered to him by a tragic history of her own. --page 2 of cover.
