See all formats and editions
James and Elizabeth, have “retired’ to a life of ease in a new time world in 2016 after helping the Martians save the Earth and their own planet. Unfortunately, Elizabeth thought it would be a good idea to visit her ancestral home at Hamgreen to see what had become of it.
The problem is, it’s difficult to find. Even though it’s been there since before the Great Comet and usually there’s a Martian sitting on the gate post.
However, If you do find it, you will discover time inside the house is often different to that outside. It depends on which door you go through.
You really must make sure you are wearing the right clothes when you pay a visit.

From the humorous and sometimes romantic adventures of James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

In this book I have tried to explore dealing with a time fracture. This is where the Martians come in to help. I wanted to make them completely different to us, and I mean different. In my novels they are fairy like in appearance and are able to live and see in a four dimensional world which means they have to exist in five dimensions.  In this 5D world of theirs they do not see us as we see ourselves. They actually see us extended a little into our past and futures. This allows our intrepid time travellers to move in and out of time.I had to use both my neurons to figure out how to do it. I hope it worked.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bruce Macfarlane is the author of the humorous and sometimes romantic Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart, a scientist, living in the 21st century and Elizabeth Bicester, a Victorian Cambridge graduate whom he accidently met at a cricket match in 1873.

He spent most of his working life in radiation protection and emergency planing with the nuclear industry, and is now enjoying retirement with his wife, Julia, and their cockapoo, Lulu, on the south coast of West Sussex, just a few minutes’ walk from the sea.

A life of writing scientific reports and reading early science fiction, especially the genre of time travel such as the works of Anderson, Simak and H. G. Wells encouraged him to start writing his own time travel adventures.

When he’s not writing he’s out walking on the South Downs trying to remember all the names of the flowers and mushrooms, Julia, has identified.

When it’s raining, he can be found sometimes in his “shed” as Julia calls it, trying to master new jazz chords instead of doing the ironing.

His stories have been described as “Tom Holt meets P.G. Wodehouse meets Philip K. Dick meets Fortean Times.”

You can read more about how he created the stories, the characters and places used at his website http://timetraveldiaries.co.uk/

As the 3rd book in this unique time travel series, I was not at all disappointed. Possibly the books get better as they increase in number.
A real page turner, with a nice touch of humour.
