Publisher Description
"From the pen of Mr. Erik Clevedon, Peculiar Lives is another 'scientific romance' along the lines of The Coming Times and The Star Beasts. Exotic color is added by the character of American detective, Honor├® Lechasseur, and his delightful English companion Miss Blandish."
Once a celebrated author of "scientific romances," Erik Clevedon is an old man now. But his fiction conceals a dangerous truth, as Honor├® Lechasseur and Emily Blandish discover after a chance encounter with a strangely gifted young pickpocket. They become embroiled in the endgame of a plot which began a generation ago, with the birth of the superhuman children known as "the Peculiar." While Emily encounters the elderly science-fiction novelist Clevedon, Honor├® is pitched against his will into an unimaginably distant future.
