Space 1889: The Lunar Inheritance

An early and persistent flowering of the genre known as 'Steampunk', Space 1889 was originally a role playing game set in a nineteenth century where the European empires had travelled into space, extending their influence through the solar system. The British Empire has colonised Mars, for example. Drawing on the adventure stories of writers like Wells, Kipling, and Burroughs, it was a very appealing setting. In the early 2000s a company called Noise Monster (which I have always assumed had a connection to Big Finish) produced a short-lived series of audio dramas set in the Space 1889 universe...

These dramas have been commercially unavailable for many years, and Noise Monster has long since ceased trading. I'm not quite sure how these stand in terms of copyright, so I upload these with due caution and will take them down if asked to do so by the copyright holder...

This is the fourth (and final) play to be released, and stands by itself with no connection to the previous three...
