Like steampunk? The Avengers? Fun adventure romps? We do, and if so we think you will love PHOENIX RISING: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurences novel by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris.
As an archivist for the Ministry of Peculiar Occurences, Wellington Books is most content when left alone to catalogue information and work on his beloved difference engine. Unfortunately when Miss Eliza D. Braun, a fiery field agent with a fondness for both dynamite and derring-do, ends up assigned to work with him, his tranquility is forever broken.
Secret societies, carriage chases and explosions are so very hard to catalogue properly, after all, to say nothing of a) Corsets! b) Mechamen! c) Skullduggery! d) Knife Fights d.1) at the Opera, no less! e) Orgies (sort-of)! f) And Conspiracies (lots)!
It’s enough to drive any decent archivist to something far stronger than tea, and that’s before matters of the heart make things even more complicated.
I seriously can hardly wait! Most anticipated of the year to date!
