My Uncommonly Peculiar Encounters with The Leevers of North Hillpeste

Fine dining, steampunk, death and sherry... with a smattering of Shakespeare thrown in for good measure. It all unfolds in the Victorian-era city of Ephinburg where Buckminster Solo - the teleporting, brown-nosing facilities manager for a mad science lab - has a tale to tell: It involves a lost empire, an emotionally unstable demigod and the vital importance of coleslaw to acts of espionage. If Mr. Solo isn't very careful, it might also involve a brutal, and quite fatal, beating.
