ᴥ Irena ᴥ's Reviews > The Return of the Discontinued Man

Spring Heeled Jack is back! Actually, there are more than one of them now (a strange choice of words considering). They are hunting for Sir Richard Francis Burton. And they are very confused.

At the same time, London is covered with red snow and plants. Burton experiences hallucinations of the same event over and over again. Only, each seems to belong to different histories. He soon realizes he and his friends have to do something about those intrusions, the red snow and plants. This time they have to travel far into the future.
Burton, Swinburne, Raghavendra, Trounce and others have no idea what awaits them there and then. I loved it. There are more surprises and shocks than I expected. Every time I thought I knew where the story is going, something I didn't expect happened.

There is absolutely no way one can write a real review of this book. This is one of those series where it's impossible to fully enjoy the books unless you read them in order. The reward is marvellous.
