century where the American Civil War has dragged on for two decades due to the discovery of mechanite; a mineral that burns ten times more efficiently than coal. In this world of dirigible battles, steam-powered machines of war and daring espionage, the powers of Europe play a game of shadows in an effort to gain access to America’s miraculous mineral; a prize which could envelop the world in its first great war.
The first Lazarus Longman novel – Golden Heart – is something of a western crossed with a lost world adventure as Lazarus sets out to discover the Seven Golden Cities of Cibola. Silver Tomb sees Lazarus journey to Egypt for an encounter with the undead reanimated by science. In Onyx City Lazarus scours the slums of Victorian London for Jack the Ripper while dangerous radicals try to overthrow the British Empire.
