About this audiobook
London, 1882. Airships cross the skies. Across the Atlantic, the American Civil War has never ended.
A stranger is found inside a locked room, speaking a language dead for centuries. His belongings are ancient, yet some look newly made. Then a scholar is murdered at the British Museum.
Dr Nathaniel Cross, a former army surgeon, and Countess Anastasia Volkonskaya, a brilliant linguist with little patience for unanswered questions, follow the clues. The evidence grows stranger with every discovery. So does the attention of a Russian ambassador who appears willing to kill for what they might find.
With the police hampered by diplomacy, Cross and Anastasia must discover what connects the dead man, the impossible artefacts and a forgotten invention.
Whatever the answer, someone is determined to possess it. And the consequences may extend far beyond London.
The Reality Engine opens The Clockwork Frontier, a gaslamp adventure of murder, espionage and history gone very wrong.
