Frank Chadwick is best known as a game designer, especially for Space 1889. The Forever Engine is a novel set in that universe but not, as far as I know, based on a particular game script. It is steampunk without magic but with some convenient exceptions to the normal laws of physics. Protagonist Jack Fargo is an ex-U. S. special forces soldier from 2018, who now teaches ancient history. An old buddy calls on him to examine an unusual Roman coin, ostensibly found at a high-tech weapons research facility. He discovers that the coin does not match our history. An explosion at the site propels him into a version of 1888 England where there is already a colony on Mars and dirigibles use an antigravity material called “liftwood.” British intelligence sends him with a small team to thwart a high-tech weapon being developed by an unstable genius in the mountains of Serbia.
