Titan Books are repackaging and re-publishing George Mann’s steampunk novel The Affinity Bridge: A Newbury and Hobbes Investigation on 17th July 2015 in paperback format for a whole new generation of readers to enjoy.
Welcome to the bizarre and dangerous world of Victorian London, a city teetering on the edge of revolution. Astounding new technologies abound; airships soar over the capital, trains rumble through the streets, and clockwork automatons carry out menial tasks. But beneath this dazzling veneer lurks a sinister world…
Ghostly policemen haunt the alleyways of Whitechapel, cadavers rise from the dead, and now an airship has crashed under strange circumstances. Mystified by a series of grisly murders, Scotland Yard call upon the brilliant Sir Maurice Newbury, Gentleman Investigator for the Crown, and his recently appointed and unflappable assistant, Miss Veronica Hobbes.
So begins the first thrilling adventure of Newbury and Hobbes, in a steampunk London you will never forget.
