BLINK & ABERNATHY ADVENTURES
The Curse of Odin
Victorian London’s grim backstreets are no place for the faint of heart. Blink, the orphaned pickpocket, knows that in the sprawling smoky capital, only the strongest survive.
And he’ll do whatever he must to survive.
When he’s caught picking the wrong man’s pocket, Blink finds himself swept up in the hunt for a lethal terrorist. The eccentric inventist, Abernathy is hot on the terrorist’s trail, but he needs someone who knows their way around the city’s seedy underbelly.
And he’s willing to pay.
To stop a madman unleashing the power of an ancient curse, Blink will journey through the world of man and machine, and into a place of magic and monsters. As bullets fly and bodies fall, Blink fights to uncover the truth behind the curse, and in doing so, discovers the shadow of a conspiracy unlike any other.
THE ARMY OF LOST SOULS
No longer a homeless pickpocket, Blink is now the assistant to eccentric inventist Thaddeus Q Abernathy. For the first time in a long while, he’s got a safe place to lay his head and knows where his next meal is coming from. Life is finally getting better. But being an assistant to Abernathy means learning things about the world he’d rather not know and facing dangers he’d never imagined.
Terror stalks through the seedy back alleys of London, cutting down innocent victims without mercy. Springheel Jack is carving a bloody trail through the great city, and the police are powerless to stop him. When Abernathy agrees to help an old friend, doing so will put themselves in the path of a brutal killer. Can Springheel Jack be stopped? Will they uncover more than they are prepared to face?
The City of Clouds
A soldier lies dead on a table. A mysterious note affixed to the corpse. Long-buried secrets will be uncovered at last.
Ex-assistant of the eccentric inventist Thaddeus Q. Abernathy, Blink longs to leave the smug shrouded streets of London behind once and for all. Still no closer to uncovering the fate of his father, Blink has joined the gruff Captain Balaz and his mysterious comrade Meilei aboard their ship. Soon they will head west, and Blink believes London will become nothing more than a bad memory.
But the sprawling capital won’t let go so easily.
Blink finds himself kidnapped and thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the fiendish Timekeeper. A plot to reorder the world is afoot and millions of lives are on the line. Blink and Abernathy must discover the Timekeeper’s identity before it’s too late.
