"Subjected to a bizarre and terrifying ritual by a local medicine man on the island of Koluwai in Papua New Guinea, Aiden Fleischer, a young Anglican vicar, finds both himself and his assistant, Clarissa, transported from the 1880's to a strange alien planet. Weak and disoriented, they are met by the Yatsill, an alien race of mimics who, on accessing Clarissa's mind, begin to change their entire civilization to replicate the Victorian era. As the missionaries struggle to fit into this now familiar yet wonderfully strange new land, the very worst aspects of Victorian London society erupt in the midst of a war against an incomprehensible enemy and the dreadful prospect that they might have brought Jack the Ripper to this alien world."

Industry Reviews

"The usual superlatives for really clever fantasy (imaginative, mind-bending, phantasmagorical) aren't nearly big enough for this debut novel. With this one book, Hodder has put himself on the genre map..." Booklist "This is an exhilarating romp through a witty combination of nineteenth-century English fact and fiction. Mark Hodder definitely knows his stuff and has given us steam opera at its finest... A great, increasingly complex, plot, some fine characters, and invention that never flags! It gets better and better, offering clues to some of Victorian London's strangest mysteries. This is the best debut novel I have read in ages." -- Michael Moorcock "Hodder has crafted a loving homage to the 19th-century novel with the barest tweaks for a 21st-century sensibility ... [A] fascinating adventure ... The pacing is as vintage as the vividly imagined grotesqueries of alien life, but the rewards for acclimating to the style are well worth the effort." Publishers Weekly "There are some great imaginative flourishes and excellent setpieces ... a steampunk fan favourite in the making" -- Damien Walter SFX
