Escaping the workhouse was only the beginning of Alan Shaw’s adventures. For an orphan growing up on the streets of Victorian London, staying alive is a daily battle filled with choices a child should never have to make. Then Alan is offered more money than he can imagine; enough to take him to the new world and a new life. He only has to do one thing first - something that could bring the British Empire to a grinding halt.

In a series of adventures that take him from sea to sky, from Brighton to Bombay, Alan grows up in a steam-driven era where Automatons walk the streets of London and dirigibles master the air. Pitted against mad alchemists, tentacled submersibles, bomb-wielding saboteurs and the apocalyptic cult of the Ordo Fenris, Alan has his work cut out for him.

With a past as dark as his, who knows what Alan might grow up to be?

The Adventures of Alan Shaw is an epic Steampunk adventure spanning five incredible tales, from the author of Gothic Steampunk fable Greaveburn.

The Adventures of Alan Shaw

Alan Shaw is at it again.

From homeless urchin to world-class adventurer, Alan has tackled magic, myths and machines, lost love and made one fatal mistake. In an effort to come to terms with what he has done, Alan heads into the East and disappears from the world.

His new partner, the loyal and straight-talking pilot, Merry, might just bring him out of his darkness. Or maybe Alan's curse will take them both to places from which they can never return. Ancient dangers return to smother the world in sand, the demonic cult leader Volkert rises again, and Alan's past will come back to deliver a haymaker. But those are the least of his worries because, on the streets of London, Mister Slay is leaving a wake of fear and blood, daring Alan to return home.

With his life as a Privateer taking him from China to Chicago, Egypt to the East End, the danger and wry wit keeps coming in this much-anticipated sequel to a Steampunk epic adventure.
