Walking With Ghosts: A REACh Time Travel Adventure (Book1)
What do you do when Time won’t let you be just a spectator?
The British have established the top-secret Research Establishment of Applied Chronology (REACh) and, despite the mysterious loss of Team 1 on their very first mission, they are forging ahead with the newly discovered technology. With a mission mantra of 'observe and record', Team 2 - historians Jack and Catherine and their pilot/technician Sean Gifford - travel back in time to London’s East End in early Edwardian England. But the fledgling chrononauts quickly find that things don't go to plan.
A mysterious technical ‘blip’ throws their mission plans askew, Jack's attempts to expand his vintage postcard collection lead to an unexpected encounter, and when a Suffragette march gets out of hand things suddenly get serious as they find themselves embroiled in a struggle for survival. Just who can they turn to for help?

About the author
Harry Hyndman
8 books4 followersHarry Hyndman was born in Bournemouth, England, in the 1960's and left school with only a History CSE (which pretty much amounts to nothing). After flirting with a career in the music industry he settled for the security provided by a regular day job which took care of the next 35 years. Once the kids had flown the proverbial nest, he then gave it all up to write (fully exploiting that History CSE!). An avid reader, and a supporter of AFC Bournemouth soccer team, he loves music of all genre's but especially punk rock.

Quite a change from my usual genre, I thought I would give this a go....loved it!
The characters are believable and relatable with a plot that keeps you reading...I put off many tasks in order to finish this!
Really loved the historical facts in the storyline and the secondary storyline keeps the door open for further books...can't wait to read the next one!

I love time travel so I'm a bit biased here, but I do think this book sits quite comfortably within the genre of historical adventure too. The time travel is incidental to a cracking story that takes place in the east end of London in 1913.
The story is well paced and the characters well developed. Plenty of surprises and intrigue along the way and some subtle humour too. A brilliant book, it kept me hooked from the start which is pretty much all you can ask for really. I'm not a historian so can't say how accurate the historical side of it is but it does seem to have been researched quite well. Just enough history to keep you interested but it doesn't swamp the story. And then there was the awesome character of Sean Gifford.......a new popular hero? I didn't want to stop reading! Hopefully there will be more books to follow!

Not bad at all!
I would like to think that this quaint time travel tale is the first of many as there is still plot lines not completed.
I like the story involving real life characters and there history. Even if it is a fictional story.

Thoroughly engrossing from start to end. My first time travel thriller so was unsure what to think but loved every minute of my time with the book. Well written, well paced and enjoyable throughout. Already looming forward to any future books from this author.
