Step in from the cold, through the saloon door of the strangest bar in creation.
Esqwith's Passing Place, where everyone has a story to tell..
Hannibal Smyth Esquire, formally of 'She whom is seldom amused' Royal Air Navy, rogue, thief, scoundrel, unwilling agent of The Ministry, and on occasion hero, but only if he can't find a way to avoid it, drops into the Passing Place with a story on his lips.
Richard the resident Piano Player in Esqwiths improbable bar, listens on and wonders, just how did Hannibal get that scar?
But only because the cat told him to ask...
So What follows is a tale of avarice, of strange things in the mountain temples of Nepal, airships, clockwork queens, Russian pirates, Fung-Fu monks, the sexual politics of pork scratchings, of high adventure and low doings.
'A Scar of Avarice' is a cross over novella, set in both the steampunk present of Hannibal Smyth, and the universe of Passing Place: Location Relative.
Praise of Passing Place
