    About this ebook

    Now an ABC television series available on streaming platforms!

    In 1979 Karl Alexander's Time After Time burst upon the literary world with a brash, exciting novel with a unique concept: H. G. Wells, the famous, bestselling author of such sensations as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds had actually invented a time machine.

    When H.G. Wells showed his friends his fantastic time machine he never suspected that his college friend, Leslie John Stevenson, was in truth the Jack the Ripper.

    But, when Scotland Yard detectives show up at Wells's house looking for Stevenson, he steals the machine and flees to the future—1979 San Francisco. Knowing that he was responsible for the infamous murderer’s escape, Wells pursues the Ripper into the future.

    Once in San Francisco, Wells realizes that he must now save a city, and a particular lovely young woman, from a new reign of terror at the hands of the feared Terror of Whitechapel.

    At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    • 5/5
      This novel accompanies the entertaining film of the same name where H G Wells follows Jack the Ripper forward in time to 1979. The book follows the same course, but has the added bonus of both H G's reflections on and marvelling at the technological advances he sees and his disappointments and disillusionment with the crime and injustices he experiences, which tell against the Utopian ideals he had anticipated for future society. All this gives the book added depth as well as many funny and some horrific and disturbing moments. Well worth tracking down.

      Great book and a Great Movie!!
