From the back of the book:
Mars Attacks!
The War of the Worlds was only the beginning. In the wake of the alien invasion of 1898, the Martian metal, Aetherium, has greatly advanced the boundaries of science. Little did we know what the long term effects of exposure to it would be...
Rise of the Ravaged
The year is now 1936. The Red War happened nearly 40 years ago and everything has changed. The cinematic world of the screen has bled into the streets and lines have been drawn as crisply as black and white. Secret societies struggle for control of the world. Masked avengers oppose them with eldritch words and Tommy guns. Fantastic treasures have been discovered in vine-laden ruins and tales cross the globe hinting at more.
