The Map of Time is an extremely busy book that provokes the mind in many exciting ways. At one and the same time, it celebrates the advances of knowledge not just in the year 1888, but in what would be the imagined world of a much more recent time ? the year of 2000. To enjoy this story, the reader must accept the somewhat primitive but scientific advances of an era over 100 years ago. Let your imagination reign free.
Wealthy Andrew Harrington falls madly in love with a lowly but beautiful prostitute. He visits her each night when he pays her for an entire night of sexual indulgence rather than just a few minutes/hours. Love develops, powerful love. To his horror, Andrew arrives at his beloved?s single room flat to find her shredded by the knife of Jack the Ripper, his fifth victim.
Maddened, Andrew uses the help of H.G. Wells and his contrived time machine to take himself back in time to prevent his true love?s murder. Wells accepts the challenge. Andrew slips back to the night of her killing and in self-defense after being stabbed, he kills Jack the Ripper. Anxiously, he expects events to be changed when he returns to his own time. But there are problems.
In The Map of Time, Wealthy Clair Haggerty pays an enormous sum to Murray?s Time Travel to witness a battle in the year 2000 where a heroic struggle takes place to save the earth. Entering 2000, all of London appears destroyed. As Clair watches an epic display of swordsmanship, an Adonis like human figure destroys the leader of the mechanical robots who are liquidating the human species from the planet.
Refusing to return to her own time, Clair does not re-enter Murray?s Time Travel machine. She slips away hoping to rendezvous with the warrior hero whose physical presence has obsessed her. Luck does not hold. Captured, she is forced back into the time machine ? but she has accidentally left behind her parasol.
