Mark Hodder - The Return of the Discontinued Man (Burton & Swinburne 5, epub)[j_ray]

SPRING HEELED JACK IS JUMPING BACK!

It's 9 p.m. on February 15, 1860, and Charles Babbage, the British
Empire's most brilliant scientist, performs an experiment. Within
moments, blood red snow falls from the sky and Spring Heeled Jack pops
out of thin air in London's Leicester Square. Though utterly disoriented
and apparently insane, the strange creature is intent on one thing:
hunting Sir Richard Francis Burton!

Spring Heeled Jack isn't alone in his mental confusion. Burton can
hardly function; he's experiencing one hallucination after
another--visions of parallel realities and future history. Someone, or
something, is trying to tell him about ... what?

When the revelation comes, it sends Burton and his companions on an
expedition even the great explorer could never have imagined--a voyage
through time itself into a twisted future where steam technology has
made a resurgence and a despotic intelligence rules over the British
Empire!
