Langdon St. Ives. The Adventures Continue. A Set of 3 Books

The novels in the series "The Adventures of Langdon St. Ives" describe the adventures of a scientist-aristocrat in an "alternative" Victorian England. There are heroes and villains, mad and not so mad scholars; a mysterious airship flying over London, piloted by a dead man; Victorian-era spacecraft; a debauched millionaire, a self-proclaimed Messiah, and even a very ancient alien; London streets, graveyards, brothels, and pubs... The spirit of the era of Sherlock Holmes, "The First Men in the Moon", "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" - books that inspired Blaylock and his colleagues when they wrote the first steampunk novels. The collection includes the fourth, fifth, and sixth novels of the cycle.

4. "The Underground of London". A sudden collapse of the Thames embankment opens a passage to the mysterious underground world of London. Inventor-aristocrat Langdon St. Ives and his friends decide to explore the unknown expanses, unaware that they are up against a cold-blooded genius of evil, before whom the demonic Doctor Narbondo will seem like a mere child! On the side of the psychopathic murderer stands the entire criminal world of the British capital, deadly inventions of the vivisector Pivi, and even vampire fungi. Murders and abductions of innocent people follow one after another... Will St. Ives manage to avoid the sad fate that awaits him and restore peace and tranquility on the streets of London?..

5. "Eye of the Idol". What could be better than an evening spent in a cozy London pub, where one can sip a pint of good ale and enjoy a roast pheasant? Only extraordinary adventures and a road full of dangers - that is what amateur scientist Langdon St. Ives and his loyal friends think, ready to plunge into fire and water in the literal sense of the word. In search of amazing artifacts, they will have to dive into deadly quicksand, travel along the bed of the Thames, and explore mysterious caves and dungeons. And although the infernal Professor Narbondo and his cruel henchmen are hot on their heels, overcoming obstacles on the difficult path to their goal only makes it more desirable.

6. For Langdon St. Ives, an eccentric scientist-naturalist, gentleman, and excellent family man, calmness and boredom are unknown. Adventures befall him and his loved ones daily, if not every minute. An innocent trip to the London opera turns into a deadly dangerous rafting experience on barrels down the Thames, while a stroll through the wastelands to Neolithic structures becomes a swim under a waterfall falling from a cloudless sky and a balloon journey through a hole in space-time. It is no surprise that any event involving St. Ives turns into a phantasmagoria, even if he is merely trying to understand the reasons for the pollution of the river or helping his wife Alice sort out documents. One thing is certain: any enemy will be defeated sooner or later, and justice will prevail.
Though there will be casualties…
