1863, although not the one it should be... Time has sharply changed its direction, and everything is leading to a destructive world war. Prime Minister Lord Palmerston believes that by capturing all three eyes of the nagas, he will be able to avoid war. He already has two stones, but he needs a third, and he sends Sir Richard Francis Burton to get it. This is an opportunity for the royal agent to return to the Mountains of the Moon and find the source of the Nile. But a rival expedition led by John Speke stands in his way. Their clash could spark the war that Lord Palmerston is trying to avoid! Caught in a tangled web of cause, effect and inevitability, Burton realizes that the stakes are even higher than he expected. The final battle will take place in London in 1840, and will pit Burton against the one who caused the change in time—Jumping Jack! Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon concludes the series begun by The Curious Case of Jumping Jack and The Mysterious Case of the Clockwork Man. Note from the translator:  Some already know that the Bartelmans publishing house refused to release Hodder’s 3rd book, “Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon.” Therefore, I decided to sell the prepared translation. I note that by doing so I kept my promise: now the entire trilogy is in Russian. And I will immediately answer the unasked question: no, I will not translate the 4th book, it stands out from the general series, the reviews are rather negative. A. Virokhovsky
