Score: 1.5
Start of the steampunk Burton and Swinborne series (explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton and poet Algernon Charles Swinborne: they fight crime!). Set in an alternative Victorian London created by the idiotic time-traveler of the title, the setting includes biology that is even more ridiculously impossible than Westerfeld's Leviathan series.
Next Book: Charlaine Harris, Dead Reckoning
