In a time when the Industrial Revolution has become an all-out war, Mad Science rules the World...with mixed success.

At Transylvania Polygnostic University, Agatha Clay is a student with trouble consentrating and rotten luck. But when the University was overthrown, Agatha was revealed to be the last of the Hetrodyne family- and a Girl Genius beyond anyone's imaginings. Now she has escaped from the people who want to control her; and must make hery across treacherous wastelands to find her place in a world of monsters and madmen.

"Girl Genius is brilliant. It really is. It's fun and funky and unlike almost anything else, and it's Phil and Kaja Foglio doing what they do best."
