The Treasure Hunter
Book one of The Amelia Babbage Series
The
year is 1898 and it has been some three years, eons, a thousand years and yet not
even a second since time and space was fractured with the explosion of Nikola
Tesla’s time travel experiment. Across the globe breaches commonly known as bubbles
constantly expel all manner of life forms, structures and land from throughout
time and space. Unfortunately for many, as much disappears from the New World via
the bubbles as ever appears.
In chaotic
New London where humans mingle with gods, cyborgs, monsters and even fictitious
characters, Amelia Babbage battles to establish her new business, The Babbage
and Co. Detective Agency: Finding the
Lost. Desperate to see her detective agency succeed Amelia takes on the
first case that comes her way: the case of Blackbeard’s missing silver.
As
the search for Blackbeard’s silver leads Amelia into the dark depths of New
London she quickly realises she faces a far more dangerous enemy than the bloodthirsty
pirates Anne Bonne, William Kidd and their conflicting crews. The dark dealings
of warmongers and politicians take centre stage in a brewing war for possession
and control of New London.
Fortunately Amelia isn't working alone. Helping her solve
the case and stay alive is a robotic parrot named Crackers, the two knights
Joan of Arc and Jacques de Molay, Ilona the cranky pixie, the vilified genius Nikola Tesla, Aetos the
god of eagles, her half-elf cousin Lily and a strange man calling himself Aadan Pandareos
who disturbs Amelia's heart.
