1851 - The age of almighty steam and ambitious empire. Chief Inspector Erasmus Drake is about to cross paths and wits with Dr. Sparky McTrowell. What a lovely little romance it could be, if only the mad scientists, air pirates, international conspiracies, and imperial intrigues would just get out of the way. The first two adventures of Drake & McTrowell, "London, Where It All Began" and "The Bavarian Airship Regatta" together in one book!
