Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if the Industrial Revolution began three centuries early?When a brilliant Florentine inventor creates the world's first practical steam engine during the Renaissance, history takes a dramatically different path. As railways, factories, steamships, and industrial cities transform Europe centuries ahead of schedule, apprentice-turned-engineer Matteo Vieri witnesses both the astonishing promise and the devastating consequences of humanity's greatest invention.From royal courts and bustling workshops to battlefields, cathedrals, and sprawling industrial capitals, Matteo's lifelong journey reveals a civilization racing toward unprecedented progress while struggling to keep wisdom, compassion, and justice from falling behind.Iron Before Its Time is an epic alternate-history novel exploring innovation, power, faith, politics, and the enduring question of whether humanity can master its inventions before becoming mastered by them.Sometimes the greatest challenge is not inventing the future-but becoming wise enough to deserve it.
