Summary

A short tale of mummies, werewolves, and well-preserved felines set in this Parasol Protectorate prequel!

When Alessandro Tarabotti and his valet, Floote, find themselves in Egypt on the queen's business, a chance encounter with tourists quickly leads to a...situation...with the local mummies. Can Allesandro complete his secret mission before he's hijacked by social obligation? And how will his aunt Archangelica react to his treatment of her cat?

For years the subject of speculation and rumor, the nature of Alexia Tarabotti's father's adventures and romances is finally revealed in this glorious full-cast audio production with an original score by composer Danny Schade. ArtisticWhispers Productions and New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger are proud to present you the long-awaited stand-alone prequel to her defining steampunk masterpiece The Parasol Protectorate.

An excellent performance

An excellent performance of a great short story by Gail Carriger. This prequel to the Parasol Protectorate stories really gives you a feel for the character of Alessandro. Brilliant writing. Wish there were more stories about him!

short and fun

This is a backstory to Soulless and other books by Gail Carriger and gives a feel of what Alexia's father was like. You don't need to read it first but can should you be the tidy sort.

Be warned, if you've already bought the Carriger Quartet this book is part of that collection.
