First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 177 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Seth "In 1920s England, a strange being crashes a village cricket game. After some glitchy, jerky attempts to communicate, this creature reveals that he is a machine-enhanced human from a multiverse thousands of years in the future.

Published in 1923, The Clockwork Man - the first cyborg novel - tells the story of this odd time traveler's visit."
