Time And Again - Time and Again: Book One (Paperback, New edition)

Tiffs is a high precision presentation of a remarkable experiment. Simon Morley, an artist with a premium on imagination, is chosen as a possible subject by a group operating on the theory that time is charted by a myriad of details and if surrounded by what appear to be the artifacts and events of an era, they might be able to project themselves into the actual time slot. For weeks Simon is secluded in an apartment in New York's famous landmark, the Dakota, where he dresses, eats, entertains himself and reads newspapers in tire style of the New York of 1894 and finally he walks out into the Central Park of that January. Mr. Finney has researched with enthusiasm and the scenes Simon describes have a graphic vitality. And there is a mystery that Simon is determined to solve that has to do with a suicide and a cryptic letter that ends "the sending of this should cause the Destruction by Fire of the entire World." With photos, this is a fully illustrated fascinator and the time transitions are seamless. (Kirkus Reviews)

So, when he is approached by an affable ex-football star and told that he is just what the government is looking for to take part in a top-secret programme, he doesn't hesitate for too long. And so one day Si steps out of his twentieth-century, New York apartment and finds himself back in January 1882. There are no cars, no planes, no computers, no television and the word 'nuclear' appears in no dictionaries. For Si, it's very like Eden, somewhere he could find happiness. But has he really been back in time? The portfolio of tintype photographs and sketches that he brings back convince the government. But all Si wants is to return ...
