Summary
June 1897, and as part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, her expanding Empire lays claim to another new territory: The Moon!
Space Captain Gordon Periwinkle; the much-vaunted Gentleman Adventurer (and amateur taxidermist) becomes the first man to set foot on Earth's only natural satellite. Or so he believes…This is the story of the good Captain's attempt to get home, dodging an array of government assassins; nefarious foreign agents, and even Jack the bleedin' Ripper, all the while keeping one step ahead of his backstabbing, overachieving family. With the help of Tiny: his trusty sherpa, and Professor Hamble Blaise: The Inventor Royal, they cobble together a plot to save both his life and his reputation, whilst bolstering the Queen's and her Empire's into the bargain.
Better hold on tight, because right from the off The Giant Step; Paul Eccentric’s first expedition into the visually stunning world of Victorian fantasy, drags you pell-mell down a gaslit path of twists and turns and perilous adventure. Comedic Steampunk for our time.

A great read and a great listen,
I absolutely love Paul’s style of writing, that in itself had me in fits of laughter. This is a hugely entertaining and humorous story, the type of which I have never come across before. The main characters are bold, brazen and quirky, and you can’t help but really warm to them. Terry Molloy depicts each character brilliantly with his wonderful accents and expressive tones, and he takes our imagination on an intriguing journey. Just loved it all and can’t wait to get on to the the next book.

Excellent production of a funny and inventive steampunk romp.
Really good production. Good characterisation and fun musical interludes. Great story, inventive, funny and engrossing.
