The Periwinkle Perspective: Those Among Us: 2 (The Perwinkle Perspective)

January 1898. Step forward Space Captain Gordon Periwinkle: adventurer, raconteur and amateur taxidermist, and the man who, six months ago, became the first to walk upon the moon. Or did he?

There are those who claim that Queen Victoria's greatest achievement was nothing more than an elaborate hoax, perpetuated by the overseer of a previously ailing Empire in order to gain dominance over those who sought to usurp her.

Either way, Gordon's going 'back', though this time with none of the pomp and ceremony that surrounded his original mission. For this is a secret mission; a mission to discover whether or not there is, in fact, an alien base hidden on the satellite's dark side and also to find out quite what became of his brother who was sent skyward in a fit of pique by the Inventor Royal, Professor Hamble Blaise, after she discovered that she had been sleeping with Jack the bleedin' Ripper!

Add to this the news that scientists from all over Europe have been going missing, that the Queen is in need of a new pair of legs and the possibility that not everyone on Earth is entirely who they claim to be and you have all the ingredients for the second volume of The Periwinkle Perspective . . .
