Having acquired a device for themselves, the brutish Morlocks return from the desolate far future to Victorian England to cause mayhem and disruption. But the mythical heroes of Old England have also returned, in the hour of the country's greatest need, to stand between England and her total destruction.

This one had a lot going for it - it's one of the first steampunk novels, and combines Arthurian legend, Atlantis, and the novels of HG Wells. As one of my favourite podasts says during the sponsor breaks, “I like ALL of those words!”
It might be that I'm so fond of all of those things that I didn't enjoy this as much as I might otherwise have - it's a fairly well-told story, but it felt like all of the different elements of it were just being thrown together for the sake of throwing them together, rather than having an organic reason behind it.
