About this ebook

1882: From dark dimensions, long imprisoned gods invade the dreams of worshipers on Mars, Earth and Venus. Shadows rise. An ancient evil batters the gates of reality. A handful of adventurers stand against encroaching chaos. If they fall, so will the British Empire. And the Solar System won't be far behind.

Author

Ralph E. Vaughan

Ralph E. Vaughan is well known for his Sherlock Holmes and HP Lovecraft fiction, and was the first author to combine the literary worlds of Holmes and Lovecraft. That story was The Adventure of the Ancient Gods, and has been translated into multiple languages. His pastiches have been collected in Sherlock Holmes: The Coils of Time & Other Stories and Sherlock Holmes: Cthulhu Mythos Adventures. His DCI Arthur Ravyn Mysteries, set in legend-haunted Hammershire County (England), have proved very popular with readers, as have his Folkestone & Hand Interplanetary Steampunk Adventures. His avid interest in ancient history led him to write Enigmas of Elder Egypt, a collection of essays examining the lesser known aspects of Egypt. On a lighter note, he is the creator of the Paws & Claws Mystery Adventures, stories of canine detectives who solve mysteries, protect the weak, and occasionally save the world. He is the author of some 300 published short stories, covering the period 1970-2010, about a tenth of which have been collected in Beneath Strange Stars.
