Time Posts: Victorian London
What if the most dangerous weapon ever created was not a gun, but a book?
Professor Michael knows the power of texts. He teaches it, lives it, and has nearly been destroyed by it. When a single interpretation of a single book shattered his life, he discovered something extraordinary: a Time Door hidden in the subbasement of a bookstore in present-day Woking, England.
Now he travels to Victorian London, where fog conceals more than cobblestones. In White Chapel, a desperate woman throws herself into his arms as a man with a scalpel lunges from the shadows. In a midnight bookstore, a mysterious young woman named Cleo challenges everything he believes about love, literature, and the spaces between texts. And in his university classroom, his students grapple with a terrifying truth: the same books that open minds can justify death and destruction.
