Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon by Mark Hodder
It is 1863, but not the one it should be. Time has veered wildly off course, and now the first moves are being made that will lead to a devastating world war and the fall of the British Empire. Caught in a tangled web of cause, effect, and inevitability, little does Burton realize that the stakes are far higher than even he suspects. A final confrontation comes in the mist-shrouded Mountains of the Moon, in war- torn Africa of 1914, and in Green Park, London, where, in the year 1840, Burton must face the man responsible for altering time: Spring Heeled Jack! Burton and Swinburne's third adventure is filled with eccentric steam-driven technology, grotesque characters, and bizarre events, completing the three-volume story arc begun in The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack and The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man.Mark Hodder is the author of The Curious Affair of Spring Heeled Jack, which won the Philip K. Davis Award for Best Novel. The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man, which won the 2010 Dick Prize, is a sequel to The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man. He built the Blakiana website (http: //www.sextonblake.co.uk) to commemorate, document, and renew Sexton Blake, the most written-about fictional detective in English publication history. Mark is a former BBC writer, editor, journalist, and Web producer who has worked in both new and conventional media. He spent most of his professional life in London until 2008, when he moved to Valencia, Spain, to de-stress and create novels. He has a cultural studies degree and enjoys British history (1850 to 1950 in particular), delicious food, cutting-edge gadgets, cult television (ITC forever! ), Tom Waits, and a wide range of curiosities.
