The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man - Unabridged edition 2012
It is 1862, though not the 1862 it should be.... Time has been altered, and Sir Richard Francis Burton, the king's agent, is one of the few people who know that the world is now careening along a very different course from that which Destiny intended. When a clockwork-powered man of brass is found abandoned in Trafalgar Square, Burton and his assistant, the wayward poet Algernon Swinburne, find themselves on the trail of the stolen Garnier Collection - black diamonds rumored to be fragments of the Lemurian Eye of Naga, a meteorite that fell to Earth in prehistoric times.
Alan Quartermain, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good have travelled a long way over difficult country to the hidden land of the Kukuanas in search of King Solomon's treasure. They find enough diamonds to make them the richest men in Europe but has the treasure caught them in a trap?
