A Labyrinth of Memories:

Mind Transfer & Time Travel Versus an Organic, Telepathic Global Network in the Midst of the Victorian Era

Brand : Brand C

As it turned out, the machine to transport the body through time proved proficient, but a far more efficient means was the appropriation of the bodies of others gained through memories.

Description

Body swapping fatally complicates a love triangle while a mission to alter history proves terribly misguided.

Using a machine to transfer the whole body through time is perfectly fine, but commandeering a memory is a more expedient way to alter history.

Telepathic time travel is also performed with machinery such as an ethereal exchange device. Such device allows the time traveler swift retrograde transportation as well as discreet manipulation of historic events, all accomplished from the safety and comfort of his or her own sitting room or bedchamber.

In an alternative history of the decade prior Prince Albert’s Great Exhibition, Coinneach Throckmorton is a mechanically talented young Scot left alone with his two young cousins when the dreaded Weeping Death wipes out their village, leaving them orphaned.

When Coin happens into the collaborative efforts of the houses of Devonshire and Wellington, he finds himself enthralled in their efforts to save Great Britain from a new French threat far superior to Old Boney’s cannon.

Among the members of the campaign is the equally talented Helen Culling, niece of the Iron Duke and protégé of the great architect and inventor Joseph Paxton.

Coin inadvertently discovers that Helen’s ethereal suspension device, a brilliantly contrived mechanical means of anesthesia, is a portal into the minds of others and, through their memories, into the past. Too late, as their rivalry reaches crescendo, Coin realizes that Helen’s invention has the potential to right history, saving not only Queen and Country, but also humanity itself.
