LoveReading Says

A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

Victorian-set adventures with a strong twist of steampunk. Captain John Hartdwick returns from captivity in Burma as an opium addict and a much disenchanted man. When he is recruited by a mysterious club to act as a spy against an untold menace to the Empire, he is soon coopted into a team of hardy secret agents fighting against a supernatural threat of the other kind. With touches of both H.G. Wells and H.P. Lovecraft, Latham conjures up a deft evocation of Victorian London in all its grime, bustle and colours and never slows the pace of the manifold derring dos unfolding. In addition, the splendidly engineered plot throws up regular surprises to keep the reader solidly on side and surprised on every dark corner. Simply put, a good read and exemplary entertainment. ~ Maxim Jakubowski
