Captain Burton faces his most bizarre adventure yet!

He has traveled through Time and fought eldritch horrors, but nothing can prepare the famous explorer for what he is about to face.

Sensing a threat to the British Empire, Mycroft Holmes taps Burton to investigate. But the explorer has his own troubles, plagued by visions of nightmare vistas beyond imagining.
