The Kraken The Melville Files 1 "Where other authors give us the trappings of steampunk without real substance, Jonas Cobos infuses his world thoroughly with the substance and spirit of the genre, 110% full of steampunk ideas and motivations. And he did something few other writers have done...made steampunk goggles actually functional tools rather than mere fashion statements." Ralph E. Vaughan "After reading this, I felt I definitely got a tempting taste of what Cobos has to offer as an author, and I can't wait to see where this series heads next. Whatever the destination, I'm definitely on board for the journey. Highly recommended." Sam G. Condal City. 1871. The private detective John Melville Salas receives news of the murder of his friend and mentor Domingo BadĂa, better known as “AlĂ Bey”. All the clues seem to point towards a mysterious secret society called “The Custodians of God”. The investigation will lead the detective to the Hungarian capital city, VarĂłs Buda, where he will discover a terrible secret related to the Lost Ones in Time and the incident that chained them to such a disastrous destiny. An old manuscript hides the keys that can lead to the ruins of an ancient civilization. Deep in its belly lies a powerful weapon and the key that could lead to the rescue of his daughter Sara and the rest of those frozen in the time.
