I have been waiting for a book like this…its about time travel but it doesn’t remind me of something i’ve already read..the story of David Lambert, a London museum curator who has a terminal illness…but of course he has a time machine (I won’t give away where he gets it) which he decides to use to seek a cure…he gets blasted 500 years into the future and unfortunately, the London of the year 2500 is a steaming wreck… with crocodiles in the Thames and friendly Pumas roaming around… exploring the ruins of mankind’s future he concludes that no one has lived in London since the early 21st century… something went wrong.. very wrong… and he tries to find out what went wrong as at the same time he tries to find answers to his own ruined life…he goes to Scotland, where he finds a group of dark-skinned people, and becomes their “guest”.... I recommend it to time travel novel connoisseurs..i have really read some crap ones…
