The Victorian Trilogy by Félix J. Palma is a Spanish steampunk series set in late nineteenth-century London. Each book takes a different H.G. Wells novel as its jumping-off point and weaves a new story around it, with Wells himself appearing as a character.
The Map of Time (2008) deals with time travel and draws on The Time Machine. The Map of the Sky (2012) reimagines War of the Worlds as an actual alien invasion during the Victorian era. The Map of Chaos (2014) brings in parallel universes and ties together threads from the previous two books. The trilogy was originally written in Spanish and translated into English by Nick Caistor. Readers who enjoy layered, literary science fiction with a historical setting will find these books worth the commitment, though they are long and densely plotted.
