Time is twisted, worlds are changed, and fates are intertwined in this thrilling final chapter of the Burton & Swinburne Adventures from Philip K. Dick Award-winning author Mark Hodder.
In 1890 the renowned adventurer and explorer Sir Richard Burton could sense his impending death...
Until he was suddenly alive, young and strong in the year 1864âa past that he remembers well, but which is definitely different from what he previously lived through. Burtonâs amazement is heightened when he is reunited with his loyal friend, the eccentric poet Algernon Swinburne, who is equally nonplussed at being somehow transported into his former self at the moment of death.
Before long, Burton and Swinburneâjoined by many of their brave compatriotsâfind themselves once again being pulled to and fro by the streams of time in an adventure that may decide the fate of humanity.
For while Burton, Swinburne and company have employed time travel to save the empire and her subjects, that technology has now fallen into the wrong hands. Englandâs ruling class are transforming Burton and Swinburneâs beloved England into a nightmare where those in powerâalong with their merciless clockwork enforcersâoppress and enslave the masses.
And now, Burton and his friends will have to find a way to heal the damage time travel has done to the world if they are ever going to save it...
