Old Timey Crimey #8: The Disappearance of Benjamin Bathurst

Kristy and Scott go on a mysterious journey with a young English diplomat traveling incognito (badly) through Europe in the age of Napoleon. The disappearance of Benjamin Bathurst, which has inspired science fiction writers for decades, introduces us to such wonderful characters as Guido Starhemburg, the Black Legion of Vengeance, and the Rescuer of Marbles. Was it bandits? Aliens? THE FRENCH? We'll likely never know. 

Join us, and remember...he's British.
