The Ghost Rebellion

The Ghost Rebellion

From authors Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris, the award winning steampunk series continues... The chase is on! After rescuing Queen Victoria from the clutches of the Maestro, Agents Eliza D Braun and Wellington Books are in hot pursuit of Dr Henry Jekyll. While he continues his experiments on the aristocracy of Europe, he leaves a trail of chaos and despair in his wake. However when Eliza and Wellington run him to ground in India, they are forced to come face to face with ghosts from the past, and the realities of empire. Meanwhile Ministry agents Brandon Hill and Bruce Campbell travel deep into Russia hunting down a rare ingredient to save Queen Victoria's life. Amid the cold they uncover a threat from the revitalized House of Usher that comes directly from their new Chairman. All in the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences will find their allegiances in question, and their mettle tested as a new dastardly era of international intrigue dawns.

Actual rating: 3.75546689965126 stars. And stuff. Wherein our favourite agents of deering-do (aka the Colonial Pepperpot and Dashing Archivist) find themselves dispatched to exotic, friendly (if a little on the brink of war) India. And facing wickedly nefarious Cobras and Badgers and Foxes and Bears and Lions and Dingoes and Tigers and Wolves and Scorpions, oh my. And also good bowel-movements, enemas and squeaky-clean intestines (don't ask). And also also revoltingly inferior supernatural technology (a most scandalous rip-off, if you ask me). And also also also a deliciously evil madman (aka the Atypical Mad Scientist) whose favorite hobby is turning innocent bystanders into ten feet monsters (yay!). Quite the daunting predicament, you say? Bloody shrimping balderdash, I retort! Unflappable as a pair of lethargic barnacles, our Colonial Pepperpot and Dashing Archivist always are. Provided there is no shortage of The Brew That Cures All Ailments, Be They Physical Or Psychological (TBTCAABTPOP™). Obviously. “Just another day at the Ministry.” “Shall I go put the kettle on?” · Book 1: Phoenix Rising ★★★★ · Book 2: The Janus Affair ★★★★ · Book 3: Dawn's Early Light ★★★★ · Book 4: The Diamond Conspiracy ★★★ · Book 6: Operation: Endgame ★★★★
