Description

Some time after Inspector Newcomen’s strange case concerning Dr Jekyll, the occurrence of a dreadful mental deviancy begins possesses many of the cultivated and sophisticated occupants of London’s West End. For Newcomen and others, it can be no coincidence that the outbreak seems suspiciously near to the home and surgery of the doctor whose demise was of such untoward circumstances.

When theatre composer Patrick “Dug” Douglas is separated from his family by the ensuing mayhem, he assembles a league of companions toward the restoration of some modicum of order. Among them are Mr and Mrs Jonathan Harker, who bring, respectively, incomparable faithfulness and preternatural detection skills, Mr and Mrs Phileas Fogg, who contribute superb mathematics and a very useful airship, their faith manservant Jean Passepartout, with unmatchable energy and agility, and Dr John Watson and biologist Ann Veronica Stanley with astute medical knowledge.

Individually, they have sought mere survival through the terrors of the epidemic. But together they seek a solution to overcome this threat to humanity and the restoration of order to their great city.
