"Moonlight, Murder & Machinery" is a bold reimagining of the Frankenstein story, set in a bizarre Steampunk Regency England! It is the year 1814 in the nation of Nova Albion, an alternative British Isles powered by a strange combination of magic and technology, and policed by an elite armed force known as the Chosen Men. A baffling series of crimes leads Chosen Men Byron, Shelley and Keats to the beautiful and headstrong Mary Godwin, who is plagued with prophetic nightmares about a scientist intent on creating life from the bodies of the dead. Shelley finds himself emotionally entangled with Mary as the investigation deepens, but this only draws them deeper into peril ... what gruesome artifacts are being smuggled into the land through Cornwall? Who is the ghostly highwayman who haunts the countryside's lonely turnpikes? Why is the elusive enemy able to anticipate the Chosen Men's every move? To save both himself and Mary, Shelley must face secrets and mysteries hidden within his own soul ... secrets that could destroy the very nation he is fighting for ...
