STEAMPUNK CORNER: THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE CLOCKWORK MAN!

STEAMPUNK CORNER: THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE CLOCKWORK MAN!

BURTON AND SWINBURNE ~ BOOK 2

MARK HODDER

I REALLY ENJOYED THE FIRST BOOK IN THIS SERIES, THE STRANGE AFFAIR OF SPRING HEELED JACK . . .

It is 1862, though not the 1862 it should be. Time has been altered, and Sir Richard Francis Burton, the king’s agent, is one of the few people who know that the world is now careening along a very different course from that which Destiny intended.

Burton and Swinburne’s second adventure is filled with eccentric steam-driven technology, grotesque characters, and a deepening mystery that pushes forward the three-volume story arc begun in The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack.
