Summary
"Nick of Time" by Ted Bell is an exhilarating tale that masterfully blends historical events with imaginative time travel. Set in 1939, on the cusp of World War II, the narrative follows twelve-year-old Nick McIver and his sister, Kate, who live on Greybeard Island. Their discovery of a time machine propels Nick back to 1805, where he encounters his ancestor, Captain Nicholas McIver, and faces the villainous pirate, Billy Blood. Simultaneously, in their own time, Kate collaborates with detectives Lord Hawke and Commander Hobbes to thwart Nazi espionage. Bell's storytelling is rich with action, seamlessly merging historical fiction with science fiction, making "Nick of Time" a compelling read for adventurers of all ages.
