For a long time, maybe the entire ten years since that horrific accident, Eleanora Watson has been hoping that the strange little shop calledTrove would be open some day, and now it is. Inside, she finds the even stranger owner and a lost book by Jules Verne (who pointedly never wrote of time travel).
Ah, yes. Embrace of the Planets. As far as I know it’s the only copy of Verne’s theories of the universe ever printed.
