The Speed of Dark

Book Three of the Londum Series. Set in an Alternate Victorian England, called Albion.

It's a pretty risky thing to travel to another Universe and rescue someone that you don't even like and generally isn't a recommended course of action. However, against his better judgement, Rufus Cobb is persuaded to do so by a beautiful woman. (Women eh?) Little does he know what he's letting himself in for. Before he's finished, he will find himself fulfilling someone's centuries old prophecy in an oppressed country, which may seem somewhat familiar.

Captured by the Black Guard and subjected to the Castilian Questioning by the Grand Questioner himself, Torquelauda, Cobb is responsible for igniting a revolution that will lead to the freedom of all Angleland. (Where? I hear you ask. Well, read the book and find out.) And as if that wasn't enough, having a showdown with the Gods themselves is enough to keep anyone on their toes. And talking of toes ... did I mention the one-legged man?

It's all in here ... Love, Death, Sex, Violence, Destiny ... and many other words!
