Vallis Timoris

The Moriarty paradigm is not quite the world that we know. Subtly altered by the machinations of Professor Moriarty, the British Empire dominates the globe using steampunked technology the like of which has never been seen. Steel Fortresses. Space Cannons. Secret Societies. Sherlock Holmes on the Moon. Vallis Timoris is a mash-up based on the original text of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original novel, The Valley of Fear. In the wake of Lunar Gordon's conquest of the Moon, Sherlock Holmes must uncover the truth behind the Scowrers of the Vale de Verme in a thrilling pulp adventure in which physics and engineering are every bit as important as the science of deduction.
