Overview

A powerful thunderstorm rages over New York City sending its citizens dashing through the torrential rain..

Between the lightning flashes a strange craft of huge proportions suddenly appears, a metallic airship bristling with weapons. But the ship is clearly damaged, with large holes in its sides through which twisted metalwork protrudes, and countless shattered windows that reveal a dark and lifeless interior.

However, despite the appearance of this great vessel, the captain and some of the crew cling to life, but this is not the city or the world they left, dispatched on a desperate mission to stop an enemy of unimaginable ferocity.

Where has this ship sailed from, and how can her captain and crew find their way home, when the craft which has been their home now lies in ruins, and when the enemy that has nearly destroyed them appears to have followed them to this new world, which looks and feels so like their own.

Through Glass Darkly is the first book in the Glass Darkly Diesel-punk series:
- Through Glass Darkly
- By a Blue and Crimson Light
- A Shadow on the Sky

Set in the mid 1930s the Glass Darkly series follows the adventures of Captain Howard Hughes and the crew of military airship Kubla Khan, as they travel into a strange other dimension known as the Miasmic Expanse, trying to find their way home.
The Glass Darkly series is an alternative history science fiction story, suitable for most ages. It features fictionalized versions of real historic individuals and places, but is purely a work of fiction.

About the Author

Peter Knyte was born and grew up in North Staffordshire, England, where more by chance than design he first stumbled across the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, Arthur Ransome of Swallows & Amazons fame, David’s Gemmell and Eddings through their Legend and Belgariad series, and met Jonathan Livingstone Seagull through the eponymously named title by Richard Bach.

North Staffordshire and the Staffordshire Moorlands are also where Peter developed his love of walking and the countryside.

After leaving Staffordshire, Peter moved to Middlesbrough, Birmingham, London and Leeds during which time he grew to love Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics, Asimov’s Foundation series, Rider Haggard’s tales of She Who Must be Obeyed and King Solomon’s Mines.

Peter still lives in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where he continues to enjoy walking and the countryside, as well as gardening, motorcycling, rock climbing, snowboarding and cooking.

Through Glass Darkly was his second novel and the first book in his Glass Darkly series.
