A Date With Paradox – Kobo eBook

Half a century after the Time Traveler vanished from Richmond, leaving H. G. Wells with a solitary flower unique to the modern world, and a fantastically unbelievable tale — he returns in 1944 wearing clothes from some archaic period, yet his appearance is hardly affected by the ravages of time. Then he expounds a story stranger than the one that made him famous!

Hunted by deadly carnivores on a dying planet, the Professor and a doe-eyed Weena are accidentally flung backward through the corridors of time. With his Time Machine now listing on the bottom of the sea, and hope for its recovery dismal, they find themselves stranded in an ancient realm. Perhaps forever.

Guided by a man from Cyrene, they embark on a journey to civilization, encountering Strabo the renowned geographer along the way, from whom the Time Traveler learns the truth. That they are arrived in an epoch he never wanted to visit: Man’s history.

A Date With Paradox is a sequel like no other — a return to Wells’ THE TIME MACHINE that ferries the Professor and Weena through ever accumulating instances of paradox, from the crumbling future world of the Eloi and the Morlocks into biblical times. Where science finally runs out of explanations, and something older takes over.

For readers who loved the original tale, and who have wondered what happened to the man who never came home — within these pages the Time Traveler’s destiny is finally laid bare.
