"A fun blend of P.G. Wodehouse, steampunk and a touch of Sherlock Holmes." - SFRevuGuy Fawkes is back and this time it's a toss up who's going to be blown up first - Parliament or Reginald Worcester, gentleman consulting detective.
But Guy might not be the only regicide to have been dug up and reanimated. He might be a mere pawn in a plan of diabolical twistiness.
Only a detective with a rare brain - and Reggie's is amongst the rarest - could possibly solve this 'five-cocktail problem.' With the aid of Reeves, his automaton valet, Emmeline, his suffragette fiancée, and Farquharson, a reconstituted dog with an issue with Anglicans, Reggie sets out to save both Queen Victoria and the Empire.
This 19,000 word novella is the sequel to the WSFA Small Press Award finalist, What Ho, Automaton!
REVIEWS
"I find that a good book is enjoyable by the end of the first chapter. This book was good by the end of the first SENTENCE - 'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a chap in possession of a suffragette fiancee is in need of a pair of bolt cutters.' As you can guess this story is a treasure trove of homages as well as just a jolly good romp. Treat yourself to this joyride." - Media Junkie
"Funny, extremely well-written, short and sweet. All those words come to mind after reading this little masterpiece." - zjordi
"A fun blend of P.G. Wodehouse, steampunk and a touch of Sherlock Holmes. Dolley is a master at capturing and blending all these elements. More than fascinating, this work is also rip-roaring fun!" - SF Revu

Perihal pengarang
Chris Dolley is a New York Times bestselling author, a pioneer computer game designer and a teenage freedom fighter. That was in 1974 when Chris was tasked with publicizing Plymouth Rag Week. Some people might have arranged an interview with the local newspaper. Chris created the Free Cornish Army, invaded the country next door, and persuaded the UK media that Cornwall had risen up and declared independence. As he told police at the time, ‘It was only a small country, and I did give it back.’
