It is 1848 and the British Empire has grown rich exploiting Lilliputian slavesthe finesse of their working allowing unheard of feats of miniature engineering; even Babbage's computing device has been made to work. But now the French have formed a regiment of previously peaceful Brobdingnagian giants and invasion looms. In a world where humanity is both smaller and larger than it once was, love and hate loom large. Mankind discovers itself at the center of scale. Lilliputians are 12 times smaller than us but there are those12 times smaller than them, and 12times smaller again and so on. And the scale of being goes up from Swift's giants, as well.ThisWellesian sequel to "Gulliver's Travels" is a unique piece ofsci-fi literature. "
