Description
Revised Edition. Picking up where THE EQUIVOQUE PRINCIPLE left off, this second volume of the QUAINT CHRONICLES sees Cornelius Quaint embark on his most perilous adventure yet. Bidding an emotional farewell to Dr Marvello's Travelling Circus, Quaint leaves for Egypt with only fortune-teller Madame Destine by his side. Once in the land of the pyramids they must do battle with desert thieves, unearth long-buried secrets and attempt to foil the villainous Hades Consortium's plans to poison the River Nile. With a whole new cast of characters this is a ripping Victorian adventure story featuring Cornelius Quaint - part Sherlock Holmes, part Indiana Jones, part Harry Houdini. The Times called THE EQUIVOQUE PRINCIPLE a 'boisterous comedy' with 'hairpin plot twists' and THE ELEVENTH PLAGUE follows in the grand tradition of the "penny dreadful" novels from the Victorian era. This revised edition marks the 10th Anniversary of the release of the very first volume of the QUAINT CHRONICLES, 'THE EQUIVOQUE PRINCIPLE' in 2008 and features a bonus short story 'THE ENTHUSIASTIC AMATEUR'.
