Flying Machines of the Worlds 1902

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This first technical supplement for the Hive, Queen and Country Universe introduces Victorian science fiction roleplayers and war gamers to the many aerial vessels of that universe. Whether in the skies of Earth, Mars, or Venus, these mighty machines provide swift transport or deadly combat capabilities.

Modeled on period publications such as Jane's or The Naval Annual, Flying Machines of the Worlds features designs for dozens of ships for use in any steampunk or Victorian science fiction setting. In Hive, Queen and Country, these are the vessels that patrol the skies of Earth, have fought with the Hives, and are now opening the frontiers of Mars and Venus to colonization.

This my good fellow is a veritable steal for such a low price. Just the smashing pictures alone are worth far more, but all the tactical ship information, secret background information, storyline etc makes for a rippin good book at a cracking low price [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
