DescriptionsEdit Descriptions
- A parody of P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster and Jeeves stories, taking place in a steam punk, early 20th century, Victorian England. (The bionic Victoria's reign has been extended.) In addition to various automatons, there are prometheans, i.e, persons, or hybrids of persons assembled from dead bodies, both human and animal.Reginald Worcester, seeing himself as a new Sherlock Holmes, accompanied by his automaton valet, Reeves, as his Watson, sets himself up as a gentleman detective. In reality, the roles are reversed, of course. ,There are references to various other works: H.G. Wells' Time Machine, Stella Gibbons' Cold Comfort Farm, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and a variety of mysteries from which Worcester has gained all of his knowledge of detective work. (English, Unclassified)
- The numbering of the series is inconsistent from source to source, because the two novellas in What Ho, Automaton! are sometimes counted individually, making Reggiecide number 3, etc.The first two mysteries, i.e."What Ho, Automaton" and "Something Rummy This Way Comes," were published in the ebook What Ho, Automaton! The first four mysteries were published in the trade paperback What Ho, Automata, i.e. the two in the collection What Ho, Automaton; as well as Reggiecideand The Aunt Paradox.
