In the summer, on baking hot sky-blue afternoons, the cliffs of the chalk white Severn Sisters are crowded with holiday makers picnicking and enjoying the view. What’s not apparent to most of them is that if they could climb down the face of Seaford Head a little and press themselves against the chalk, they would disappear through the wall and enjoy a more fantastic view of the remains of a Martian invasion force.

James and Elizabeth have returned home for a bit of peace and quiet.
They've stopped a Martian invasion of Earth and ruined the Weber Institute's plan to take over the world.
Unfortunately, they find they are not only in a different future but a different aspect of themselves.
Moreover, the Martians are still trying to colonise Earth after their failed invasion. And Marco is loose in time trying to reconnect the interplanetary dark net to help them.
In their quest to get back to their own world, James and Elizabeth travel back and forth between Mars and Earth drifting across time and space through different pasts and futures.
Eventually they find a home and in the process discover who the Martians really are.
Fairies will never look the same again.

The second book of the humorous and sometimes romantic Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart, science lecturer and sometime rambler, living in the 21st century and Elizabeth Bicester, Victorian Cambridge graduate, whom he met at a cricket match at Hamgreen in 1873

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

After writing my first book 'Out of Time' I was so immersed in the hero's and heroine's characters and the subject of time travel between Victorian England and the present day and that I just had to write another. Luckily H. G. Wells' Martian invasion, the new satellite images of Mars and my small obsession with Celtic Literature gave me the vehicles to continue the Diaries.

About the Author

Bruce is a retired Health Physicist who lives with his wife on the south coast of England, just a few minutes' walk from the sea. When he's not researching King Arthur, he's out walking on the South Downs with his wife and his friends trying to remember all the names of the flowers and mushrooms his wife has identified.When it's raining he can be found sometimes in his "shed" as his wife calls it, trying to master new jazz chords.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 Wells encouraged him to start writing his own novels about the adventures of a modern man and a Victorian lady whom he met at a cricket match in 1873.His stories have been described as "Tom Holt meets P.G. Wodehouse meets Philip K. Dick meets Fortean Times."

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.”
