The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man

Time has been altered in this thrilling book, and Sir Richard Francis Burton knows that the world is careening along a different course from that which Destiny intended. When a clockwork-powered man of brass is found abandoned in Trafalgar Square, Burton finds himself on the trail of stolen black diamonds that are rumored to be fragments of the Lemurian Eye of Naga. His investigation leads to involvement with the media sensation of the age: the Tichborne Claimant, a man who insists that he’s the long lost heir to the cursed Tichborne estate. Burton struggles with shadowy opponents and his own inner demons, while eccentric steam-driven technology and grotesque characters fill this deepening mystery.
