Queen Victoria's Journals have been released. The Ministry will be checking that no mention of giant robots, burning airships or vampires are released (Supplied by Royal Collection Trust / © HM Queen Elizabeth II 2012)
"The madcap schemes and intricate plots are on par with classic whodunit mysteries. The story has amazing humor, non-stop adventure and action, and yes... romance!"

Wellington Thornhill Books and Eliza D. Braun discover a case file never meant for the Archives…at least not yet. Throwing caution to the wind, the agents go against convention and share their discovery with the æthernet…

Some places where Eliza would drag Wellington. "Cabaret du Ciel ("The Cabaret of the Sky"), a divinely themed bar where Dante and Father Time greeted visitors and comely ladies dressed as angels pranced around teasing patrons. As Morrow recalled, the evening's entertainment was presided over by God himself, who tossed holy water upon the boozy crowd"

I literally have nothing to complain about here, and that is rare. That's a lot of praise for a book to live up to, but The Janus Affair is that rare novel, the one that manages to be delightful, zany, action-packed and original from inception to execution

Tee Morris Drop. Dead. Sexy. Comrade.
Amanda Makepeace Pure awesome.
Brad Pendergraph Yep... those are your names in Russian. Awesome to see @Tee Morris reduced to Tu (that backwards N is a double e sound). Which makes your name pronounced, "Peep" :)
Christine Maia-Fleres Very cool

Arthur Books welcomes home his son, Wellington, from the jungles and deserts of Africa. In his own manner, the invalid father bestows upon his heir all the pride and respect due to actions in the field. The returning war hero, though, has returned more than a decorated soldier in Her Majesty's Army; and Arthur collects on an investment spanning across decades.

A lady that Wellington and Eliza meet in their travels in Book Three...
A little Victorian waif...but could she be part of the Ministry Seven??
Yes, I am working on a short story based on this group of rapscallions... ...and I'm using "rapscallion" as a term of deepest endearment.
In 1849 when a poet is murdered in the streets of Baltimore. The man behind the seemingly random murder manages to elude the law until — in 1889 — Agents Bruce Campbell and Brandon Hill track him down. The assassin, Mikael Scharnusser, gives the slip to the agents on revealing his “talent” and the madman’s intentions to bring down the House of Usher. Available also for the Kindle and all other electronic devices
Oh that crazy Nikola Tesla!
