Set in the imaginary world of Pangea, the theorized super-continent from which our current land masses had broken off from to form the world as we know it today. Pangea is a fully developed industrial society, albeit frozen in a pseudo Victorian age, with technology much like that described in the 19th century novels of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. There are well-formed borders and established nations on this super continent which is transversed either by rail or airship. The tectonic plates, however, are beginning to break apart, wreaking havoc and causing widespread panic. Leaders of the various nations have engaged the finest scientists to find a solution, but to no avail. And to make matters worse, the scientists are being assassinated one by one, and it becomes the task of our hero, Ned Sprye, International Inspector, and his partner, Anton, a mechanical man, to find the killer.
