The Lunar Men were a Birmingham-based group of friends who shared a common interest in science and innovation. All well and good, but when the group includes Darwin Senior, Josiah Wedgwood and James Watt and the ideas they shared helped shape the modern world then it's bound to be a Christmas cake of a book, rich, moist and very full. If anything the suspicion remains that the source material was just a bit too rich!
