The Great Game
(eBook)
Description
As a 19th century unlike our own comes to a close, Mycroft Holmes is found murdered outside his London club. It is up to retired shadow executive Smith to track down the killer - only to stumble on the greatest conspiracy of his life. Strange forces are stirring into life around the globe, and in the shadow game of spies nothing is certain. In The Great Game, World Fantasy Award winning author Lavie Tidhar concludes his epic trilogy of a Victorian era that could never have been: filled with literary references galore, not to mention airship battles, Frankenstein monsters, alien tripods and death-defying acts. It is a world where nothing is certain - not even death. "A clever, superior thriller, inventive and entertaining." - SFX "Achieves moments of surprising depth and beauty, with real insights into human history and psychology as well as the immense and varied wealth of writing in the last half of the 19th century. It's a virtuoso performance." - Locus "The plot is fast-paced, the book is action-packed, the cast of characters astounding … Every scene was vivid before my mind's eye … an outstanding steampunk novel. Gripping, multi-faceted, and fascinating." - Daily Steampunk
