Steamtown, the eponymous city, is a metropolis rising out of a desert planet. The entire planet's terrain is shattered into concentric circles and ripples around the city, and the city itself has two seas- Lowsea and Highsea- each of which is an artificial dimensionally stabilised circulating marine environment in a toroidal metal trough many kilometres in diameter. Like the rest of Steamtown, the seas are maintained using Zoomways, stable manipulable wormholes once used by God Level Aliens (GLA) of unknown species but now fallen into disrepair. The Zoomways are of various colours. A separate article will cover them.
Into the milieu of Steamtown comes Quo the Traveller, inventor of the original Time Machine, and his current travelling companion, Prudence Brown.
When Quo first set out on his adventures he wrongly believed that there was only one Earth, with a "timeline" extending from his present into the past and the future. At an as yet undisclosed earlier point in his adventures Quo was forced to understand that in fact there are a myriad of parallel universes, many of which have an Earth, or equivalent planet. And each parallel has its own history, or "continuity", and its own destiny.
