Ervin, once the pride and joy of the science world, comes of age as he finds himself exposed to the harsh realities of life.

Dismembered and smuggled out of England by a mysterious character called The Alchemist, Ervin finally experiences the one thing he has longed for – to be human, and he quickly realises that the world outside Hodgson’s Brewery gates is a cruel place.

This book is the final part of the Tick Tock IPA trilogy. It’s a story of how a Clockwork Servant became sentient, a development that shook the moral fabric of British society, industry, the church, and the crown.
