A brand new series of ebooks based on the world-renowned Role Playing Game, created by Frank Chadwick and headed by best-selling author Andy Frankham-Allen, Space: 1889 & Beyond takes the concepts and ideas that have thrilled steampunk gamers for over two decades into new and unexpected directions.
Season One of
Space: 1889 & Beyond consists of five novellas and one full-length novel. Purchasing a Season Pass will save readers $5.00 off purchasing the titles individually. The Season Pass is only available for purchase through

This series follows the exploits of “Professor” Nathanial Stone, scientific genius and unwilling adventurer, and Miss Annabelle Somerset, born adventuress and niece of infamous scientist Doctor Cyrus Grant, as they travel the inner worlds uncovering secret plots and encountering strange creatures. From the unexplored subterranean world of Luna, all the way to the divided sands of Mars, and back again, adventure and wild daring-do is never far away.
The inaugural episode,
JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF LUNA, is now available.
