January: The Glass Scientist by S.H. Cotugno
Synopsis:
London isn't the safest place for mad scientists these days. After that whole ordeal with Dr. Frankenstein, the angry mobs have gotten awfully good at hunting down monsters, wrecking labs, and generally wiping out anything they don't understand. In fact, if it weren't for the tireless efforts of one extraordinary young man, every out-of-the-box thinker from Kensington to Clerkenwell would have been locked up... or worse.
That young man is none other that Dr. Henry Jekyll. He believes mad scientists- or "rogue scientists" as he prefers- would thrive if they could just fix their public image. That is why he founded the Society for Arcane Sciences, a place where like-minded eccentrics could come together to defy the laws of nature in peace.
But everything changes when a mysterious stranger arrives, bent on taking the Society in a radical new direction. With his fellow scientists turning against him, Jekyll's life starts to spiral out of control, shattering all his carefully laid plans and threatening to expose his darkest secret- one that could destroy everything he has built from the inside out.
