Who is David? Is he just a thirteen year old boy with a strange delusional amnesia or is there something more? When he is found unconscious by the roadside with a gash to his head, he does not have anything to identify him. When he comes round, anything electrical fascinates him as if it is a whole new concept and he has little idea of the world around him. What he does have, are stories of a largely steam driven world, an impressive but curiously old-fashioned education and a claim to be the Duke of Barabourne, a dukedom that did not exist. Follow David as he searches for answers and discovers a universe larger than anyone could imagine.
