Bureau of Investigative Time Travel: Episode 1 - The Ghost Division

by Alydia Rackham

An office-bound agent gets one chance—one—to go out into the field and live her dream. But she may be sent right back to her desk if she fails to rein in a roguish, impulsive Ripperologist. Agent Artful Doyle, the Bureau's expert on Reports and Regulations, has been unexpectedly given an assignment after three years doing paperwork. She's been sent to "bring to heel" their foremost Ripperologist, Agent Darrish Fox, who shows dangerous signs of going rogue. But when she finally arrives in Victorian London and discovers what Agent Fox has been investigating, she realizes that situations in the field are rarely as cut-and-dried as they are on paper. The Bureau has always used technology that simulates ghosts and haunted houses to disguise their presence in the past, but now, it seems that not all Bureau ghosts are accounted for--and a mysterious entity may be using that same technology for illegal and sinister purposes... “Ghost Division” is the first book in Alydia-Rackham’s fast-paced “Bureau of Investigative Time-Travel” series. If you like steampunk intrigue, immersive plunges into the past, Victorian adventure, and partners working together against a sinister and shadowy force, you will love this installment of Alydia Rackham’s completely unusual time-travel series. Get “Ghost Division” today and jump into your time-machine!

About the author

You don’t have to be afraid when you read my books. Well—you might be terrified for the hero, because his arch-nemesis has him at gunpoint with his back to the river Thames, demanding that he hand over the code that could spell the downfall of Europe…
But you’ll never have to squint, worrying that the romantic scene is about to get FAR too steamy—or that, in a tirade, someone is about to spew a stream of obscenities that will make you want to shut the book and go take a shower.
I don’t write sexual scenes in my books. EVER. And I do not use profanity. EVER. And yes, God lives in my stories. He is the deep foundation—you can FEEL Him.
Yet, I can prove without a shadow of a doubt that WITHOUT ANYTHING risqué, you can still have the adventure of a lifetime between these pages. You’ll hold your breath, you’ll laugh, you’ll sit on the edge of your chair, you’ll stay up till two in the morning pinned to the page—and you might even cry. In fact, I’ll bet on that. And I HATE it when writers are lazy and tacky and beat you over the head with some philosophical or theological point they’re trying to make, instead of just TELLING THE STORY. So, I avoid that at all costs. Still not sold? Well, give one of these books a try. Go ahead—any of them! Whether we’re speeding through space, breaking through the ice on a frozen river, galloping on a chariot across the desert or running up the Asbru bridge chased by wolves…you’re still safe with me.

Interesting introduction

I enjoyed reading this short introduction to the Bureau of Investigative time travel. I noticed there is one more episode available right now-with several more episodes coming out next year. It will be interesting to see whether these episodes are a variety of short adventures or one longer interconnected adventure.

Excellent Storytelling

Hooked from the first word to the last. Once again, Ms. Rackham creates a world that pulls you in. You experience the sights, sounds...and smells. Waiting with bated breath for the continuation.
