London 1925: after a grisly discovery in a ladies' rooming house, ex-boxer Harry Stubbs finds himself on a mission that takes him from the lowest dives to high society, searching for occult mysteries buried in the Horniman Musem, wrestling with enigmas - and bare-knuckle battling with deadly opponents. An insidious alien is at large, the time to stop it is running out - and that may not even be the worst of Harry's problems.

The library-frequenting ex-boxer scrapes away more reality in his attempt to find a potentially lethal object.
There's so many great things : Skinner, the chancer with his nonchalance; Hoad, the terse but game librarian, the fantastic chair scene in the library, Arthur and his rackets (brilliantly voiced by Gethyn Edwards, who does a fantastic job on all the male voices, maybe less so on the female roles, but he is a man!); the depiction of the rougher parts of London.
There's many indications of research in these books too, little tricks of the trade, whether it's boxing, clairvoyance, the secondhand trade - they all provide an insight and help fill out the roles as Hambling gives us a glimpse of between-the-wars London.
The supernatural is revealed in flashes more than being a constant, the horror of a man slowly disintegrating, dream-like snaps into our possible future of a desolated world turning to dust. Scrape away reality and the horror could destroy you! There's definitely a theme of there being self-appointed protectors of the planet, but are their intentions good or bad? 'You can't handle the truth' perhaps?
I think I've read this book a few times now, and listened to the excellent audio book a couple of times, and it gets better each time. It's a great series and David Hambling has created some memorable characters that will hopefully lead us on more strange journeys into both the human and supernatural worlds.
Another great story
