Mr. Gregory was the most renowned Spiritualist Medium in Victorian Britain - until the agents of the Ottoman Empire ordered him killed, and he was forced into a hunted, vagrant existence in the most squalid parts of London. Now Lady Florence Padbury, head of Imperial Counter Intelligence, wants to bring Gregory back to serve the Crown on one more mission: to contact the soul of a murdered inventor ... a man who held the key to a revolutionary new technology that could give the British Empire's airships and steam-walkers the winning edge in the Crimean War.
This story is taken from Volume 1 of "Tales From Beyond Tomorrow", a collection of alternative-history short stories and novelettes by John Paul Catton.
