This is the spinoff series to Ruse. Each is called Ruse and all written by Chuck Dixon [Batman fame]. The series takes place on the planet Arcadia, primarily in the fictional town of Partington, in a Victorian-era setting tinged with elements of magic and fantasy. The most visible difference from real London is that it has gargoyles which are regarded by the populace as creatures as commonplace as pigeons.
