Paris. City of lights. City of lovers. City of dreams. Yet if one man gets his way its inhabitants will soon be forced to endure a nightmare such as they have never known. But dandy detective and Hero of the British Empire Ulysses Quicksilver is determined to get in his way; although he has problems of his own to deal with first before he can try to rescue the French capital from its earth-shattering fate. Arriving at a murder scene – with the dead man's blood on his hands – Ulysses is forced to go on the run, so that he might track down the real killer. His intention: to clear his good name, and get back to England in one piece and as quickly as possible; for the love of his life is about to take a most ill-advised trip to the Moon. But that might be easier said than done, for the terrorist known only as `Le Papillon' is preparing to bring chaos to the capital. When a butterfly flaps its wings, a wise man prepares for stormy weather. And with Ulysses Quicksilver involved, it's bound to be the worst storm on record.
Jonathan Green is well known for his contribution to the Fighting Fantasy range of adventure gamebooks as well as his novels in Games Workshop's world of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. He is the creator of the world of Pax Britannia. www.paxbritannia.com

Back on form
I'd fancied the series had been flagging a bit lately, and I was starting to lose interest in the the Steampunk genre in favour of the latest fantasy fave-rave, i.e. the Rivers of London series, when this arrived through the letter box.I have to say the lad is back on form again, and I look forward to more of the same.The plot? well there's another super-villain or two, a super-heroine, more marvelous machines, monsters, death and destruction, and temporal confusion.In short, the mixture as before. Buy some!
