About the Book
Steampunk adventure for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who
An alternate 1895...
A world where Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace perfected the
Difference Engine. Where steam and Tesla-powered computers are
everywhere. Where automatons powered by human souls venture out into the sprawling London streets. Where the Ministry, a secretive government agency, seeks to control everything in the name of the Queen.
It is in this claustrophobic, paranoid city that seventeen-year-old
Sebastian Tweed and his conman father struggle to eke out a living. But all is not wel...
A murderous, masked gang has moved into London, spreading terror through the criminal ranks as they take over the underworld. As the gang carves up more and more of the city, a single name comes to be uttered in
fearful whispers.
Professor Moriarty.
When Tweed's father is kidnapped by Moriarty, he is forced to team up
with information broker Octavia Nightingale to track him down. But he
soon realizes that his father's disappearance is just a tiny piece of a
political conspiracy that could destroy the British Empire and plunge the world into a horrific war.
