Full of wry puns, wisecracking gods and sarcastic footnotes, 'The Fire Thief' weaves history and mythology together with a roguish cast of characters and Terry Deary's irreverent comic voice. On the run, the Greek god Prometheus travels through time and hides out in Victorian Eden City, where he befriends a cheeky orphan named Jim.
