Add a CommentI had a hard time getting past the weird reference to Quasimodo but once I got rid of this link to the Hunchback of Notre Dame story I grew to enjoy my time listening to this story. It has a unique concept focused on espionage and the protagonist having the ability to shape shift. If you like steam punk this might just be your new obsession.
Modo was born a poor disfigured orphan. Taken in by Mr. Socrates, he is raised and trained as a secret agent. When he moves to London, he meets a fellow agent, Octavia Milkweed. The two of them investigate the Clockwork Guild, formed by an evil scientist.
