Space Captain Smith is a recently-published steampunk novel by a Mr Toby Frost about a Captain Isambard Smith in service of the British Space Empire! Bringing steampunk into outer space, Mr Frost throws our Captain Smith in peril and adventure as he seeks to rescue a psychic hippy maiden from a hippy world and bring her to the safety of Her Majesty’s Interstellar Imperium, which is evidently threatened by legions of bloodthirsty ant-men, religious lunatics, and other rum types!

Amidst all this insanty, Smith has only his trusted sidekicks to count upon: a rampaging alien with a literal take on life, and a renegade android with a secret past and a hitman on her tail. “Will our hero get the girl, ” asks Mr Frost at the fine Website which he maintains about his novel, “or will the ghastly Ghast do unspeakable things to him? Only one way to find out – brace yourself for a stirring tale of war, romance, tea and tiffin in Space Captain Smith.”
