Produktbeschreibung

"There is a murder to solve, a child with more talent than meets the eye, and a scramble for power. Mr. Bokel has created a world so complete you will think about this tale long after you finish it." In 1875, Inspector Ol'Barrow of Dover's borough police is still coming to terms with the advent of the radio dramas when he is confronted by a murder mystery. During their investigation, he and his colleague Bigsby come eye to eye with an assassin with otherworldly origins. Spurred on by his sense of duty and a desire to redeem himself, inspector Ol'Barrow collaborates with a clandestine organization called the Association of Ishtar. They claim to be mere advisors who aid the authorities with the containment of anomalies known as Rifts. These are harmless gateways to other worlds, but also provide access to the many threats lurking inside the multiverse. Ol'Barrow's eyes are opened to a reality in which Napoleon used alien weapons to bombard England. Companies are developing out of this world technology. And worst of all, everyone takes the progress it created for granted. Humanity is advancing into an increasingly technocratic future. Where will it end? As far as certain groups are concerned, biology is a dead end, and humanity needs to ascend. Check out the demo of the first chapter on Youtube https://youtu.be/tdwE9lOSnFM

Autorenporträt

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bonsart Bokel is the creator of Radio Retrofuture and the Retrofuture Research Foundation on Youtube, including the Steampunk Beginners Guide documentary series. On the RRF podcast, he has interviewed over a hundred members of the Steampunk Community, including writers, and other creators. After discussing, Steampunk for nearly a decade, he thought it was time to write example stories that go beyond the typical tropes of the Steampunk genre. This became a short story series called the Association of Ishtar. A multiverse of Loveholmsian adventure and Steampunk-inspired horrors. The ambition is to create a multiverse to which various writers can contribute and in which the reader takes the place of an investigator exploring the multiverse while unlocking the secret of the Association of Ishtar.
