About this title

Synopsis

Volcanology is merely an unseemly occupation for a lady in 1883 but, when the lady allows herself to be abducted in route to the East Indies, it's more than the public and her New College of London Associates can bear.
Her character in question and her professional reputation potentially destroyed, there is little Lettie Gantry can do except to escape from her increasingly insane captor, Robur the Conqueror, and complete her Eruption Prediction Equation - an equation that can save thousands of lives - or cost far more. And to do that she must put her trust in her captor's first mate, a Civil War veteran haunted by his past and deeply confused in his loyalty to his captain and his ship.
Can she trust him with her life?
On the run from the ruins of ancient Borobudur to the dense jungles of Java and the trembling volcanoes of the East Indies, Lettie must get to the one place where she can put her equation to the ultimate test - a tiny island called Krakatoa.

To the Ending of the World is the second volume of the exciting Volcano Lady tale packed with remarkable historical detail, outrageous technologies, and the potential end of the civilized world. If you like fast paced action adventure, narrow escapes, and an exceptional woman at the forefront of it all, then you will not only love To the Ending of the World, but T.E. MacArthur's entire Volcano Lady series.

About the Author

T. E. MacArthur is an author, artist, and historian living in the San Francisco Bay Area with her constant companion, Mac the cat. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in History from Cal State University and spent many an evening in subsequent Geology, Anthropology, Criminal Investigation and Art classes. Writing remains, however, her passion. She has written for several local and specialized publications and was even an accidental sports reporter for Reuters with three national bi-lines. T.E. is the artist and author behind Shamanka: Oracle of the Shamaness (www.shamanka-oracle.com.) The Volcano Lady: To the Ending of the World is the second of two volumes, and certainly not the last to follow the adventures of Victorian lady scientist Lettie Gantry. To put it mildly, T.E. has a love for all things Victorian (history and clothing from 1870 – 1890 in particular) and is having a lifelong affair with the writings of Jules Verne. Visit T. E.
