In the near future, xenogenetist Carly Maclaine is the clone of a notorious pioneer in the field, who created an artificial intelligence called Napoleon. Napoleon has been on the run from the Commonwealth's secret police--but now they need Napoleon's help, and that means they need Carly's as well. Maclaine suddenly becomes a person of interest to the other Artificial Intelligences (AIs), paradox-loving Xeno and the deeply mysterious Oberon. These super-smart beings understand that everything is about to change, and that change can be dangerous, not only to them, but to everyone in society--and especially to someone like Carly! Another groundbreaking Tale of the Biotech Revolution.

Beginning in 1804 with Nathan Drake's 'Henry Fitzowen', The Dedalus Book of British Fantasy traces the development of the genre through the stories and poems of Coleridge, Keats, Dickens, Disraeli, William Morris, Christina Rossetti, Tennyson and Vernon Lee, until the end of the century and Richard Garnett's 'Alexander the Ratcatcher'.
Each text has been chosen to illustrate the development of the various aspects of fantasy in British Literature - the comic, the sentimental. the erotic and the allegorical - and the contribution that these authors made to the emergence of the genre.
