Publisher Description
Winner of 7 awards including the Prism Award for Time Travel
London, September 1888
For veteran Time Rover Jacynda Lassiter, her current job assignment is no big deal: Find an overdue "time tourist" and return him to 2057, before he changes history.
But when another Rover goes missing in Whitechapel, the job becomes personal. Can she trust the two Victorian gentlemen who come to her aid, or do they have their own dark secrets? And who are the Transitives, the mysterious shapeshifters who can alter their identities? Is that magic, or something else?
With her employer nearly bankrupt, Jacynda is literally running out of time. But being orphaned in the past isn't the only threat she'll face, not with Jack the Ripper on the hunt. Unless she can outwit a murderer, her Victorian sojourn will end in the grave.
Customer Reviews
Couldn't stop reading
I bought the first book on a special deal and then couldn't stop. I just needed to know where it was going and how it would resolve - and that was saved till near the end of the third book. Some simplistic aspects and repetitive reminders of the storyline, but I guess I read it continuously where others would have read it over a number of years. A good read!
Complex plot managed well
The risks of combining shape shifting, time travel and Jack the Ripper in one novel paid off in a story that kept moving at a cracking pace.
Characters are vivid and details of the period kept me interested.
