Utazás a Holdba kilenczvenhét óra és husz percz alatt

In the midst of the American Civil War, a curious brotherhood has taken shape in Baltimore’s bustling streets. The Gun‑Club gathers engineers, inventors, and restless officers whose obsession with artillery pushes the limits of contemporary technology. Their workshops churn out monstrous cannons that dwarf anything Europe has ever produced, boasting ranges and power that sound like legend. Amid the clamor of war, the club’s members compete to out‑design each other, turning the city into a laboratory of thunderous ambition.

Against this backdrop, a young observer is drawn into the club’s feverish world, witnessing the dazzling prototypes and the swaggering confidence of its leaders. Their relentless drive hints at a project far beyond battlefield supremacy—an audacious scheme that could carry humanity to realms previously imagined only in dreams. As plans solidify and the first experiments fire, the stage is set for a journey that challenges both engineering and imagination.
