The Return of the Discontinued Man by Mark Hodder
Burton and Swinburne return in a new wildly imaginative steampunk adventure, and this time they’re facing their greatest foe… Leicester Square, London. Blood red snow falls from the sky and a strange creature, disorientated and apparently insane, materialises out of thin air. Spring Heeled Jack has returned, and he is intent on one thing: hunting Sir Richard Francis Burton. Burton is experiencing one hallucination after another; visions of parallel realities and future history plague his every thought. These send him, and his companions, on an unimaginable expedition – a voyage through time itself…
"Exquisite prose, exceptional characters and worldbuilding, and a rollicking good adventure to boot … A must read" -- George Mann
