Around The World In Eighty Days Via Remote Control Androids
http://www.lulu.com/shop/tp-keating/a...
This is a parody version of the classic story, which includes significant original content and revision. Here it is android versions of Phileas Fogg and Passepartout, made by the former, which actually attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days. While our two heroic leads try to stay hidden in Fogg’s secret Saville Row basement workshop throughout, controlling the androids on their journey… As well as androids, there are other new plot twists. For example, the means of conveyance now include an android-powered sledge and a gigantic Himalayan cow (a semi-mythical beast, which the French call La Vache Impossible). The androids run on compressed steam and the clockwork which produces Swiss fondue.
