Ulysses Quicksilver visits the British lunar colonies, searching for his missing brother, Barty, believed to be on the run from gambling debts on Earth. The clues lead our detective and his faithful butler into the path of unsolved murders, battling robots, shady millionaries and stolen uncanny inventions. Used to working inside the law, Ulysses is stalled when his pursuit puts him on the wrong side of the Luna Prime Police Force. But why is Ulysses' ex-fiancee Emilia also in the colonies? Who is the strange eye-patched man following Ulysses? And what is really happening in a secret base on the dark side of the moon? Used to meeting every adventure with a devil-may-care attitude and a snappy one-liner, Ulysses will be forever changed by the revelations he discovers on this most deadly of trips.
REVIEW:
Fan’s of Jonathan’s Ulysses Quicksilver will be rushing and demanding this title quicker than Nimrod can pour a stiff brandy.
As usual, Jonathan’s writing is wonderfully descriptive alongside bringing a more vulnerable Quicksilver to the fore. Green’s latest title bring Steampunk Victoriana to the readers imagination so much so, that it’s going to be a long wait for Anno Frankenstein.
Finally, add some great dialogue alongside a return of an old friend or two which makes this Quicksilvers finest exploit to date. Whilst you can read this without having read the previous five, you’ll have lost a lot of background as well as some serious world building which generates its own head of steam that will be hard to stop once you get going.
