This is a pastiche story set in Britian during the year of 1898. It is an alternate reality/Science fiction story from War of the Worlds. It is set aboard the ironclad H.M.S. Thunder Child a few days before and leading up to her confrontation with three Martian tripods in the river Blackwater off the town of Maldon.
The story moves from the crew of the ship as they try to make sense of the unbelievable messages coming from land based semaphore stations, and Mr Stanley, a reserved man from the ministry of Defense who is charged with overseeing semaphore stations set up along the coast line. He is linked with the ship because he delivered the orders to Captain MacIntosh before H.M.S. Thunder Child sets off on her voyage.
Read the build up to the final confrontation as the brave crew test their resolve to the utmost, preparing for the supreme sacrifice.
