'The scene of this book is laid in Australia at the beginning of the third millennium , when George VIII., third in succession from George V., was King and Australia was only five days from England by airship.'

Notes
Dedication: This romance of the Lindsay Gordons in Australia is dedicated to my old friend Lieut.-Col F. H. Neish Gordon Highlanders
Steampunk note: This story works as an Australian example of proto-steampunk, in that it is set in a version of the early 21st century as imagined by its author in 1918, featuring a still-dominant British Empire and advanced airship technology.
