"THIS IS AN EXHILARATING ROMP THROUGH A WITTY COMBINATION OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH FACT AND FICTION. MARK HODDER DEFINITELY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND HAS GIVEN US STEAM OPERA AT ITS FINEST ... A GREAT, INCREASINGLY COMPLEX, PLOT, SOME FINE CHARACTERS, AND INVENTION THAT NEVER FLAGS! IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER, OFFERING CLUES TO SOME OF VICTORIAN LONDON'S STRANGEST MYSTERIES. THIS IS THE BEST DEBUT NOVEL I HAVE READ IN AGES."— MICHAEL MOORCOCK

A RED SUN ALSO RISES
When Reverend Aiden Fleischer, vicar of the sleepy town of Theaston Vale, finds a hunchbacked, light-sensitive and crippled vagabond named Clarissa Stark begging at his door, little does he suspect it's the start of an adventure that's literally out of this world!
Bribed by an unscrupulous family, Fleischer and his companion flee to London's missionary college, but in wicked Whitechapel, the faithless priest stumbles upon one of Jack the Ripper's victims and becomes convinced that he himself is the notorious killer. With her friend's mind shattered, Miss Stark is relieved when they are both posted to the far away Melanesian island of Koluwai, but here they encounter an even darker evil, one that transports them to another planet.
Beneath the twin suns of the planet Ptallaya, Fleischer and Stark encounter an alien species, the Yatsill, master mimics who, after gaining access to Miss Stark's mind, create their own bizarre version of Victorian London.
But Fleischer and Stark's new home from home is not safe, for the Blood Gods will soon invade, and if he is to defeat them and rescue the woman he's come to love, Fleischer must first face his own inner demons!

THE BLOOD OF OUR LAND
A TALE OF ZENITH THE ALBINO
The Obverse Quarterly Book 4: ZENITH LIVES!
For much of the first half of the twentieth century, the detective Sexton Blake appeared to be a cross between Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, as he foiled super-villains and evil geniuses time and again in the pages of boys comics. Foremost amongst those villains was Zenith the Albino, an opera cloaked gentleman with a taste for danger and excitement and little thought for personal safety. Obverse Books is proud to present new Zenith adventures from some of Blake’s biggest and best known fans!
With new Zenith stories from Michael Moorcock, Paul Magrs, George Mann, Mark Hodder and Stuart Douglas.
