Full Throttle
Full Throttle
In an alternative Edwardian era dominated by steam technology, unregulated capitalism keeps the rich in luxury and the workers in deprivation. Deference is instilled in the masses by schooling, society and newspaper propaganda, all presented under the guise of “our values.” Inequality is disguised as tradition, capitalism is disguised as choice, and profit is disguised as freedom.
Sixteen-year old Poppy Orpington seems destined for a life of near-poverty until her father perfects a petrol-fuelled racing engine; can a working class family crack open the aristocratic world of motor racing? Can Poppy overcome prejudice and social conformity as she fights to find a place in the world? Or will the ruling elite crush her only chance of a better life?
