The Magic Feet, set in the years 1792-7198, continues the themes of
the author's Plans of the Deathless Gods. It describes the New
Zealand before the French Revolutionary wars sever contact between
old and new worlds. Taking up where the author's Plans of the
Deathless Gods left off, The Magic Fleet recounts the arrivals in
the settlement of Fridericus, South New Zealand, of New Prussia
Company ships Hera and, after significant delay, Apollon and
Hephaistos. Meanwhile, Hermes, returning to Europe, discovers that
war has broken out between Prussia and revolutionary
France-threatening the continued existence of the Company. As
Europe commences an era of conflict destined to last nearly a
quarter-century, 'New Prussia' enters a period of isolation-The
Great Interruption-in which its diminutive population must become
self-sustaining. Philosopher Adam Sixtus, who has joined his
brother Robert (director of the settlement), finds his predictions
about the violent course of modern history confirmed-but envisions
yet worse events to follow. In the climate of war and uncertainty
Robert learns that his wife and sons have left the old world to
join him. After adventures extending over the Orient, South Africa
and North America, the remaining Company vessels and their
passengers unexpectedly find themselves reunited and able to
proceed to their destination-The Magic Fleet.
