Opis

It is Victorian England. Filled with the mists of fog, villagers of a range of emotions and types. This London is not the London we know across the ocean, nor the one that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so assiduously described, but rather a more advanced one in some ways and a more barbaric one in others. It is a Baker Street World where all the heroes and villains we've come to know and love in fiction and fact have their existence. It is part of a series of stories and novels I've written that take the reader to a world and worlds where fantasy is real, where fictional characters live and breathe, and where villains are as dark and real as Jack the Ripper once was in our own world. Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective alive in this realm and is partnered by Doctor John Watson, a hero from the wars with China. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson form the hub of a group of fellow adventurers and travelers, who deliver justice when needed, and seek to right the imbalances, created by evil wherever it might appear. In this London there is much evil, not even including the rather mundane evil of thefts and murders. In this London there exist things that go bump in the night, creatures that shift swiftly past the edge of our vision, that tiptoe into our bedrooms at night and peer into our faces when we are sleeping; monsters that seek to rearrange reality into hell on earth; Monsters that must be investigated, discovered, found and destroyed at any cost. Follow Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson, a reborn from the dead Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Professor Challenger, the Invisible Man, Count Dracula, Jungle Lord, Captain Nemo, Harry Houdini, Nicolas Tesla, the Invisible Man, the Wolf Man and Madame Curie as they seek justice, truth and the Victorian Way
