Description
Dusting off ancient hieroglyphs in a desert cave, intrepid scholar Jerome and his rather more trepid assistant Leo are expecting linguistic enlightenment. Instead they become embroiled in the Vizier’s wicked schemes to enslave the world through his timberpunk translation tech.
Can they and their engineering ally Daedalus assemble an eccentric team of unlikely specialists to thwart these dastardly plans in a race against – and through – time?
Romping from the palaces of Ancient Egypt to the fleshpots of Georgian London, The League of Eponymous Jellyfish is a playful fantasy in the tradition of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and Terry Gilliam, interwoven with timely social satire as to the abuse of power and technology.
