"Overall, Breaking the Shell That Encloses Your Understanding is a fantastic read for those seeking complex and enjoyable stories that weave scientific theory and philosophical musings into the narrative seamlessly, but also have plenty of action and high global stakes to keep you gripped from cover to cover. A confidently penned, exciting, and original work of steampunk sci-fi that I would highly recommend." 5 Stars - K.C. Finn for Indies Today; July 30, 2025 London, 1899.

"Overall, Breaking the Shell That Encloses Your Understanding is a fantastic read for those seeking complex and enjoyable stories that weave scientific theory and philosophical musings into the narrative seamlessly, but also have plenty of action and high global stakes to keep you gripped from cover to cover. A confidently penned, exciting, and original work of steampunk sci-fi that I would highly recommend." 5 Stars - K.C. Finn for Indies Today; July 30, 2025 London, 1899. In a Shad Thames laboratory where Tesla coils claw the air with lightning, two scientists perform an unholy union of minds. Dr. Henri Radetsky's consciousness merges with a captive dolphin through crackling neuro-stimulators-first bathing him in visions of sunlit seas, then drowning him in cosmic horror. Metallic spider-like constructs swarm shores; an alien intelligence tears through sanity like parchment. As psychic screams echo unheard through London's gaslit fog, one question chills the air: Was it hallucination? Prophecy? Or proof that Earth is not alone? Haunted investigator Dr. Maxwell Jaxon is thrust into the abyss when a Cambridge colleague dies fused to an unearthly device, flesh interlaced with machinery humming with aetheric energy. The physicist's experiments didn't merely observe the unknown-they enticed it. Jaxon's investigation uncovers tendrils of terror spreading globally: an unnatural object orbits Earth at impossible speeds, its electromagnetic pulses sowing chaos; whispers speak of silver horrors advancing from desert wastelands. Humanity faces an enemy already within its gates. With reality fraying, Jaxon rallies the Royal Society of Esoterica-a brilliant neuroanatomist dissecting nightmares made flesh, a rebellious inventor forging weapons from the edge of science, and a shadowy American ally commanding a sky-ship against the impossible. Their odyssey races from Tesla-haunted laboratories to scorching deserts where ancient energies sleep beneath the sands. To survive, they must decipher alien signals echoing from a dolphin's dying shrieks, navigate psychic frontiers where minds can soar or shatter, and confront an emissary who wears a familiar face yet speaks for an empire beyond the stars. As London's monuments tremble and dimensional rifts bleed horrors into the world, Jaxon faces a sacrifice beyond science: to combat an enemy that invades through thought itself, his own mind may become the battlefield. Humanity's last stand hinges on truths buried in pyramids older than memory and frequencies that could unite a planet-or unravel it. A masterwork of Victorian cosmic horror blending the scientific audacity of Neuromancer with the existential dread of War of the Worlds. Experience a world where: Tesla coils hum with apocalyptic electricity, Lovecraftian terrors wear polished brass and imperial ambition, the line between genius and annihilation dissolves. A thunderous descent into gilded-age madness. Jaxon is Sherlock by way of Lovecraft-a hero for the end of everything. Rivals The Difference Engine for alt-Victorian brilliance, but dives far darker. READ IF YOU CRAVE: Mind-Bending Stakes: Cerebral kinematics, aetheric physics & neuro-caps made terrifyingly visceral. Global Gothic: From London's suffocating fog to Sahara's singing dunes, every landscape breathes dread. Characters That Captivate: A tormented genius, a healer navigating horror, an inventor facing his shadow-self. Uncompromising Atmosphere: Every paragraph thrums with Tesla-sparks and cosmic unease. THE VEIL IS TORN. THE INVASION IS SILENT. WILL HUMANITY'S LIGHT GUTTER IN THE DARK?
