Folkestone & Hand Series by Ralph E. Vaughan (Books #1-2)
Requirements: ePUB/AZW3 Reader, 1.58 mb
Overview: The conditions portrayed on the planets of the Solar System in this novel and the existence of the aether is very much in accordance with the theories and beliefs of Victorian scientists, which did not undergo any radical changes until the advent of satellite exploration in the later half of the 20th Century, when the Solar System became much less interesting, at least for those seeking adventure, mystery and romance…and a glass of segir in a smoky tavern on Venus.

Shadows Against the Empire (Folkestone & Hand #1)
It is 1882, and from fiery Mercury to the frigid moons of the Outer Planets, a Pax Britannica holds sway. Were it not for Britain’s dominance in trade, technology and space travel, Earth’s other major colonial powers would wage wars that would consume them all, and end the peace and prosperity that stretches across the Solar System. On Mars, however, an ancient evil stirs in a dead city, dark powers emerging from the dimensions to which they were banished in primal times. As this evil force extends its reach from planet to planet, the ever-precarious balance of power begins to shift, endangering not only Britain’s Empire of Steam and Steel, but the entire Solar System and all its inhabited planets. Only a small band of dedicated men and women stand between Civilisation and the Dark Gods of Elder Mars. From a forbidden city in the Martian antarctic wastes to the steaming upland jungles of Venus to the most dangerous quarters of Constantinople and London, they will do whatever they must to fight the shadows rising against the Empire, to serve Queen and Solar System.
Amidst Dark Satanic Mills (Folkestone & Hand # 2)
In the late 19th Century, a Pax Britannia maintains prosperity and freedom in the Solar System. This balance is threatened by the rise of a multinational criminal organization called MEDUSA. Using a dreadful new weapon they can destroy all governments and seize the the Solar System in an iron grip. Only Captain Robert Folkestone, Sergeant Felix Hand and Lady Cynthia Barrington-Welles stand between MEDUSA and total domination. Should they fail, the 19th Century will be consumed by terror, destruction and fire.
