A Red Sun Also Rises

Subjected to a bizarre and terrifying ritual by a local medicine man on the island of Koluwai in Papua New Guinea, Aiden Fleischer, a young Anglican vicar, finds both himself and his assistant, Clarissa, transported from the 1880's to a strange alien planet. Weak and disoriented, they are met by the Yatsill, an alien race of mimics who, on accessing Clarissa's mind, begin to change their entire civilization to replicate the Victorian era. As the missionaries struggle to fit into this now familiar yet wonderfully strange new land, the very worst aspects of Victorian London society erupt in the midst of a war against an incomprehensible enemy and the dreadful prospect that they might have brought Jack the Ripper to this alien world.
