There is more to Horatio Twelvetrees than meets the eye, but then Blair Munro has known that for years. Ever since they met during a campaign in the First Boer War, the two men have grown accustomed to one another's company. A chance encounter at the Hyperion Club throws them into a series of thrilling adventures, as chronicled in a collection of novellas by the ever dependable Munro. As they journey further from their home in Space and Time aboard the locomotive, The Empress Of India, the two companions encounter thrills and spills that might sit comfortably in the pages of a book by Jules Verne or H.G. Wells.

​

But are they adventurers for adventure's sake? Or are they both on the run from some dreadful secret, the consequences of which they must surely face if they ever return home...?
