Pulp Adventures #21: Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Quarantine

Does science fiction have the answer for illegal immigration? "Highway J" by Charles Eric Maine depicts a world where a wall must be built within the time-stream!

Illegal immigration is the hot-button topic these days -- especially now that President Donald J. Trump is moving forward with travel bans and his plans to erect a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Surprisingly, illegal immigration is a problem that spans the decades, well into the far-flung future! What becomes of a hapless scientist when his time-travel break-through makes him Public Enemy No. 1 in the 25th Century? What happens when finds himself the unwitting architect of the biggest immigration of all -- through time itself? "Highway J" by Charles Eric Maine depicts a world where a wall must be built within the time-stream!
