Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille
Summary
It is 1862, though not the 1862 it should be - time has been altered, and Sir Richard Francis Burton, the king's agent, is one of the few people who know that the world is now careening along a very… different course from that which Destiny intended. When a clockwork-powered man of brass is found abandoned in Trafalgar Square, Burton and his assistant, the wayward poet Algernon Swinburne, find themselves on the trail of the stolen Garnier Collection - black diamonds rumoured to be fragments of the Lemurian Eye of Naga, a meteorite that fell to Earth in prehistoric times. Some descriptions of sex and some strong language, explicit violence. 2011.
