From reader reviews:
• 'It is a real treat to be propelled through an exciting story, a "ripping yarn", while sometimes being caused to pause in admiration over a very well-chosen word or turn of phrase, or a particularly striking image.'
• 'Knighton works hard to make sure to be serious about things that really should be taken seriously, even as he writes wacky, sometimes silly, adventure stories.'
• 'Leaves you wanting more.'

This book is the first in the Epiphany Club series. It was inspired by my love of steampunk and rousing adventure stories. I love these fun rollercoaster rides, but they often gloss over the darker side of the Victorian era. I wanted to write a story that had all the fun of those adventures while acknowledging the strangeness and inequalities of a difficult period in history. It's steampunk adventure with a social conscience.
And ninjas. Plenty of ninjas.
