Frederick Frater leads a hum-drum life working in a Victorian bookshop in rural Kent, until, one day, an apparition walks into the shop – a beautiful young woman. Her father is an eccentric genius and a friend of Karl Marx, with an ambition to change history. His extraordinary invention is revealed to Frederick one day in a dusty stable in the local manor house – it is a time machine. Frederick's hallucinogenic adventure shows us some familiar figures (Gladstone, Jack the Ripper) from a fresh angle. His narratives takes us back to Roman-occupied Britain – a world dominated by Celtic magic – and into the future, in which magic has become science. It is a future that Freddy can influence through his interventions – for he is one of the Chosen, a select and privileged group with the fate of the world in their hands.
