“Clever, Witty and Satisfyingly Literate” — Jessica Martin, Doctor Who

The Brotherhood of Man has been dealt with. Venus awaits. Queen Victoria has just abdicated to join the crew. This was not in the mission briefing.

May 1900. Periwinkle and Hamble Blaise are finally free to make the voyage they’ve been trying to complete for six volumes. The destination: Venus, and the question neither world has been able to answer.

Blocking their path: the international Ad Astra Alliance, ready to declare war on Britain if denied access to Victoria’s Moon. And standing on the gangplank at the last possible moment: Queen Victoria herself, accompanied by her footman, her space-phobic bodyguard (a former assassin), and her favourite pug, also named Venus.

This is the conclusion of the first Periwinkle cycle — and Eccentric delivers on every thread, twist, and planted detail across all six volumes. The kind of ending that makes you want to start again from page one of The Giant Step.

“A Joyful, Rollicking and Riotous Romp” — Lee Sullivan, 2000AD

“It’s Essential!” — Colin Edmonds, Steam, Smoke and Mirrors series

“Cinematic and Breathless” — Mike Butcher, writer: 2000AD, Editor: Red Dwarf Smegazine
