About the Book

Cecil W. McCall loved his Uncle Shelby. When the old man disappeared and was presumed dead, it affected him greatly. Then came the package, his Uncle’s legacy. In the package were the “Time Bands.” Devices that promised to take the wearer back in time. But, Uncle Shelby hadn’t left much in the way of instructions. So, when McCall accidentally set them off, he was thrown back into the Victorian era, without much preparation. Being a stand-up comic and trivia expert wasn’t a lot of help, but being a history nut was. And when he saw he was in the England of Jack The Ripper he knew what he had to do. With the aid of Arthur Conan Doyle & the “Real” Sherlock Holmes, he sets out to catch the Ripper, find his Uncle, and go home. Along the way he meets Adam Worth (The “Real” Professor Moriority), Dr. Treves and The Elephant Man, Bram Stoker, Gilbert & Sullivan, Gaston Leroux, William Brodie, Rasputin and the Real Dracula. He also runs into a time-traveling traveling salesman, Time Police and the forerunners of the Mafia. And that is all only the beginning...
