Convergence: A Novel of Victorian Science Fiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545066515)

It's 1581, and Victorian explorers are launching an expedition to a mysterious new world... Earth has always had a twin, Luna, orbiting in the opposite direction. Once every six months, these two planets brush past each other, close enough for their atmospheres to touch. Six months ago, the very first expedition left Earth for Luna. Yesterday, they returned - with tales of horror and monsters on that other world, so close to our own. Not everyone made it back. Now, a new team comes together to brave the mysteries of Luna. A scientist, Sophia Brahe, sister to the famous Tycno. A doctor, John Watson. A Turkish fighter, Murad Kismet. A Chinese aeronaut, Liu Zhang. A yeoman of the Queen's Guard, James Ward. And a certain dashing detective by the name of Sherlock Holmes... Aboard a newly constructed airship, these six intrepid Victorian explorers set out on a desperate rescue mission. Vast mysteries, great lizards, and slumbering ancient intelligences loom in their future. They know that their situation is dire. If they can't decipher the secret of Luna, their entire planet might be doomed.
