Dive into a conspiracy where history has been rewritten by a cabal of Victorian Witches from the Chiswick Townswomen's Guild, who, working with advanced Babbage supercomputers, altered the 19th century. Discover the truth alongside Will Starling, a boy from the 23rd century, and unravel the mysteries that hide the true events behind Victorian futuristic fiction. Was The War of the Worlds a true account? And Jack the Ripper, a terminator robot sent from the future?
Robert Fleming Rankin is a prolific British author of comedic fantasy novels. Born in Parsons Green, London, he started writing in the late 1970s, and first entered the bestsellers lists with Snuff Fiction in 1999, by which time his previous eighteen books had sold around one million copies. His books are a mix of science fiction, fantasy, the occult, urban legends, running gags, metafiction, steampunk and outrageous characters. According to the biography printed in some Corgi editions of his books, Rankin refers to his style as 'Far Fetched Fiction' in the hope that bookshops will let him have a section to himself. Many of Rankin's books are bestsellers.
