Sebastian O TP

Description

Telling the story of an iconoclastic, flamboyant assassin in a decadent, high-tech 1890s England, SEBASTIAN O — an early inclusion in the genre now known as "steampunk" — accompanies its jaded hero on the hunt for the mastermind who condemned him to Bedlam for his moral outrages against a computerized Victorian society. Dispatching his foes with well-paced bullets and well-turned phrases, Sebastian tracks down his nemesis through his old associates in the scandalous Club de Paradis Artificiel, whose surviving members have somehow managed to evade the harsh punishment he received. But the closer Sebastian gets to his quarry, the more prophetic the club name seems — and the wilder the quest for truth becomes.
