Bloomsbury presents The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley, read by Thomas Judd.

Escape into the enchanting world of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. This extraordinary sequel transports readers to Japan, where time, destiny and love collide to electrifying effect

'A Japan that never was, a future lost, ghosts that are not dead ... not even a partial list of ingredients can do justice to this wonderful cake of a book ... A time-defying thriller' ROBIN HOBB

For Thaniel Steepleton, an unexpected posting to Tokyo can’t come at a better moment. The London fog has made him ill and doctor’s orders are to get out.

His brief is strange: the staff at the British Legation have been seeing ghosts, and his first task is to find out what’s going on. But staying with his closest friend Keita Mori in Yokohama, Thaniel starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons he won’t say, Mori is frightened. Then he vanishes.

Meanwhile, something strange is happening in a frozen labour camp in northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an old friend of Mori’s, must investigate.

As ghosts appear across Tokyo and the weather turns bizarrely electrical, Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori’s disappearance – and that Mori might be in far more trouble than any of them first thought.

love it!

such an amazing story. the world building is top notch! the world i so magical and lovely. the characters complex and enigmatic. i love love love Thaniel, Mori, and Six!

A brilliant sequel to Watchmaker

Ugh, i just love Natasha Pulley. Do yourself a favor and read all of their books, they are glorious

So Satisfying!

I really really enjoyed this book--it's a follow up to Watchmaker of Filigree Street (also great), but I think it could stand on its own. It's so easy to care about these characters that even if you're meeting them for the first time you'll be sucked in. I love the way this world does steampunk/sci-fi, very different from other kinds of historical science fiction I've encountered (although, granted, I'm just beginning to dip my toes into the genre). Great reader--kept the characters distinguishable and made the world believable.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

I love this book

Terrific read, great follow up to The Watchmaker of Filigree street . Fast paced an unpredictable

Impatiently waiting for more

While this does not live up to the greatness of the first book it was a decent sequel. I would’ve liked more about Katsu (clockwork octopus) and more of Thaniel and Mori together. I hope there will be more to come!

buy this book.

pulley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. wonderful story i really can't recommend this enough. love this series very much!

Second listen! Love it!

Love this story and the beautiful narration so much, that I just listened to it for the second time. Natasha Pulley is a master of character development and unexpected and imaginative plots that I eagerly listen to (or read) all of her works. Only dud for me was The Bedlam Stacks.

brilliant!

I seldom get drawn into a book the way I was pulled into this trilogy. this final volume was brilliant, moving and suspenseful in a very gentle way.

Unconditional love

So much of this book was fantastic. The history, magic, mystery…. One thing that really stood out for me was Steepelton’s total belief in and unconditional love for Mori even when things seemed to be trying to persuade him otherwise. I have become a huge fan of this author. Her prose is absolutely beautiful!

An intriguing tale!

The mixture of a love story and political intrigue will keep you guessing what is actually happening until the end. The characters are richly written, and interesting. I'm glad to see Grace has a redemption arc. It is a twisty tale, but you get the real answer why at the end. This was beautiful in so many ways. I definitely recommend giving this book a chance.
