Books & Stories by Bruce Macfarlane from The Time Travel Diaries

Tweet

Humorous, time-travel fiction spanning Victorian England, the modern world, and several unstable timelines.

The Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester is a series of connected science-fiction novels exploring time travel, paradox, and the unintended consequences of curiosity.

The series follows the humorous and sometimes romantic adventures of James, a bewildered, modern, science lecturer and Elizabeth, a sharp, Victorian Cambridge graduate, as they discover that time is not a straight line — and that meddling with it rarely ends well.

Each novel tells a complete story, but together they form a longer journey across centuries, timelines, and the occasional Martian complication.

Silicon Abbey  from The Humorous Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester

When digital knowledge begins to vanish and technology proves far more fragile than anyone expected, James and Elizabeth find themselves facing a future where information is hoarded, machines are worshipped, and time itself is once again under threat.
