"From the pen of Mr Erik Clevedon, Peculiar Lives is another 'scientific romance' along the lines of The Coming Times and The Star Beasts. Exotic colour is added by the character of an American Negro detective, Honoré Lechasseur, and his delightful English companion Miss Blandish."

Once a celebrated author of 'scientific romances', Erik Clevedon is an old man now. But his fiction conceals a dangerous truth, as Honoré Lechasseur and Emily Blandish discover after a chance encounter with a strangely gifted young pickpocket. Born between the Wars, the superhuman children known as "the Peculiar" are reaching adulthood — and they believe that humanity is making a poor job of looking after the world they plan to inherit...

  • As the back cover blurb reveals, Deus Le Volt features the Fendahl, the life-draining creature first introduced in the 1977 Doctor Who story Image of the Fendahl. It isn't the first spin-off novel to re-use Chris Boucher's creation, however, as The Taking of Planet 5 saw their time-looped homeworld playing a major part in the time war between the Time Lords and the Enemy. Note that this is not the time war that's mentioned in the recent television series!

'Goodbye, little Emily.'

April 1938, and a shadowy figure attends an impromptu burial in Shoreditch, London. His name is Honoré Lechasseur. After a chance encounter with the mysterious Catherine Howkins, he's had advance warning that his friend Emily Blandish was going to die. But is forewarned necessarily forearmed? And just how far is he willing to go to save Emily's life?

Because Honoré isn't the only person taking an interest in Emily Blandish — she's come to the attention of the Albino, one of the new breed of gangsters surfacing in post-rationing London. And the only life he cares about is his own.

Notes
  • Child of Time is George Mann's second Time Hunter story — The Severed Man having been published in December 2004.

    David J Howe is best known for his non-fiction work on Doctor Who, including the highly impressive series of "decades" books for Virgin Publishing in the 1990s which he co-wrote with Stephen James Walker and Mark Stammers. More recently he has been one of the guiding forces behind Telos Publishing who have published various media tie-in books as well as original fiction.
  • Child of Time is the eleventh and final entry in the Time Hunter series, which came to an end due to falling sales. Telos haven't ruled out the possibility that the series may re-appear at some point in the future, however.
  • Unlike the first ten Time Hunter titles which were all novellas of between 96 and 148 pages, Child of Time is a full-length novel.
  • Child of Time is another book in the Time Hunter range that includes a link to Doctor Who, in this case a Daemon named Mastho, from the same race of superbeings as Azal, who had been narrowly defeated in the 1972 television story The Daemons.

    This wouldn't be the only time that David J Howe would use the race — he had previously scripted the spin-off drama Daemos Rising for Reeltime Pictures in 2003. The latter, along with all of the Time Hunter novellas and audiobooks, is still available from the Telos Publishing website.
