The Dragon train is an alternative view of history, one which might have occurred in a parallel dimension. This book illustrates the birth of an alternative steam age. Famous men and women of science are re-created in this story, together with their achievements to describe the historical age of steam. I have suggested that all developmental science is the result of chance events pushed forward by people with curiosity and ambition. This alternative look at history can be applied as a teaching aid to many other subjects and offer a tool for discussion in a fun, accessible and creative way Any person represented in this book is purely intentional.
