Description:

This is the second edition of FRANKENSTEIN VIGILANTE: THE INCORRUPTIBLES, revised and re-edited to coincide with the release of Book Two in the series, THE FEAR. Widely acclaimed, Lawrence and Trengove's first new full-length novel in many years is a steampunk adventure which, while it features some familiar tropes (steam technology, Victorian fashions, transgressive eroticism) pushes the genre into original and startling territory.

The story is set in The Smoke, a dystopian city-state whose overlords, The Commission, keep the population firmly in their place with the help of corrupt law enforcement and merciless mobsters the Silencios. The heroes are a crew of idealistic young men and women, the Incorruptibles, led by Cerval Frankenstein, direct descendant of the original Doctor, whose fearsome secret weapon is the giant Thorsten Laverack and his mighty steam-powered prosthetic arm.

Unfolding in roller-coaster scenes of violence, wild sex and dark humour, THE INCORRUPTIBLES reflects many of the left-field perspectives of Lawrence and Trengove’s other books, bringing steampunk and fantasy fiction to a new, wider audience. The second volume of FRANKENSTEIN VIGILANTE: THE STEAMPUNK SERIES, THE FEAR is also now available.

Praise for Peter Lawrence and Chris Trengove: IT'S YOUR MONEY IN MY POCKET, DEAR, NOT MINE IN YOURS. "... well-observed... unmistakably the start of an irresistible composite talent." (The Times) "... a very funny novel... though not one for puritan readers." (Manchester Evening News) UP THE PICTURES (ENGULFED IN A TIDE OF FILTH) "... wickedly honest... full of finger-lickin' good digs at distasteful modern horrors..." FRANKENSTEIN VIGILANTE: THE INCORRUPTIBLES: "Hissing with cinematic steam fuelled action plus an occasional smokey backfire of female dominated sex." (Amazon UK) "A rollicking ride through sci-fi, fantasy... adult porn, gang warfare, and a dozen or so other genres... all presented with crackling energy and a bawdy sense of humor." (Amazon US)
