Now, he must save the lives of an aristocrat in love with a murdered prostitute from the past; of a woman bent on fleeing the strictures of Victorian society; and of his very own wife, all of whom may have become a pawn in a fourth-dimensional plot to murderthe authors of Dracula , The Time Machine , and The War of the Worlds in order to alter their identities and steal their fictional creations. But, what happens if we change history? Mingling fictional characters with real ones, FÉlix J.
