This is a fan fiction novel. Fact: Sometime during the 1920s, the British crime writer Agatha Christie went missing for ten days. Eventually turning up at an hotel in Harrogate. After being questioned by doctors, she genuinely didn't know where she'd been. Fiction: Suppose HG Wells was a woman not a man. Suppose the Time Machine was not a novel but an instruction manual? Now, mash those two together add in a dead archaeologist looking for an Ancient Egyptian artifact. And you get my latest story: The Fifth Beetle!
