Lord Kelvin's machine
About this book
World-renowned scientist-explorer Langdon St. Ives and his faithful man-servant Hasbro return again to confront the diabolical hunchback Dr. Ignacio Narbondo in a new adventure involving no less than the salvation of the earth itself. The author's previous St. Ives novel, Homunculus, was honored with the Philip K. Dick Memorial Award, and this latest -- and entirely self-contained -- narrative is another madcap extravaganza through the peril-fraught byways of Victorian England. From the incursion in the night-shrouded skies of a baleful comet to resuscitation of the dead from an icy Norwegian fjord to travel through space and time in Lord Kelvin's wondrous machine, this is a very special Arkham House book, bringing together the idiosyncratic vision of Jim Blaylock and Jeff Potter's incomparable graphics.
