"A fun blend of P.G. Wodehouse, steampunk and a touch of Sherlock Holmes. Dolley is a master at capturing and blending all these elements. More than fascinating, this work is also rip-roaring fun!" - SF Revu It"s 1903. An augmented Queen Victoria sits on the throne. Automata are a common sight below stairs. And all that stands between the Empire and a touch of unpleasantness is Reginald Worcester, gentleman"s consulting detective, and his automaton valet Reeves. The book contains four adventures - a short novel, two novellas and the novelette that started it all - the WSFA Award finalist, What Ho, Automaton! What Ho, Automaton! Something Rummy This way Comes Reggiecide The Aunt Paradox Immerse yourself in mysteries that only a detective with a rare brain - and Reggie"s is amongst the rarest - could possibly solve. Missing debs, stolen time machines, re-animated regicides, and Promethean pigs. But can Reggie save the day and remain single? And can the giant steam-powered brain of Reeves, his valet, continue to curb the young master"s excessive flights of fancy? "Dolley got me to laugh out loud near the end. Which, frankly, is VERY hard to do. Dolley"s tone is spot on Wodehouse and the steampunk elements tie into both plot and silliness admirably." - Gail Carriger, author of Soulless Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге What Ho, Automata (Chris Dolley)
