Before that fateful encounter at Slidetown Station, before Grimsouls and Void Faeries and cryptomycology and the dreaded Engine of Armageddon, there were other stories of Percival Gynt.

Collected here for the first time are the further/earlier adventures of Percival Gynt, full-time accountant and part-time solver-of-mysteries-and-protector-of-the-innocent-and-occasional-human-punching-bag. Learn how he caught his first killer, lost his first hand of bridge, and saved Christmas. Thrill to his battles against monsters and despots and carnivorous cancer rain. And help guide him through his darkest day, as he seeks any path to esacpe...

 

...the inevitability of fire.
