Science fiction
H. G. Wells travels to the twentieth century in pursuit of Jack the Ripper in this classic science fiction adventure that inspired both a film and a TV series. "Alexander has produced a nifty, fresh and clever combination of romance, humor, suspense and a touch of science fiction. And it's just his first novel." —Santa Barbara News-Press London, 1893: H. G. Wells, science enthusiast and writer, invents a time machine while researching his famous first novel. He shows it to several friends, including Dr. Leslie John Stephenson, an old classmate and drinking companion who by perverse chance is Jack the Ripper. Pursued by Scotland Yard, Stephenson flees in the machine to the far future—1979 San Francisco. The Ripper, entirely comfortable in the much more relaxed and sexually free future, embarks on a new series of grisly sexual predations. Wells, appalled at the thought that he has loosed the monster on an unsuspecting American public, follows Stephenson, determined to bring him back to face Victorian justice. He falls in love with the very twentieth-century Amy Robbins, who finds his story less than plausible, and becomes the prime suspect in the Ripper killings. Past and future collide as Wells's search for Jack the Ripper becomes even more personal when Wells discovers that Amy is Stephenson's next intended victim. In a hideous irony, time is running out for Wells to stop Jack and save the woman he loves. In a world of time without boundaries, love, terror, and violence combine to make this a uniquely gripping novel. Time After Time is irresistible.
