What’s A Time-Slip Novel?
Always love to hear from readers. Welcome to the dark side, haha! Hello, I have known and used the term time slip for many years. I love to get lost in a time slip story!
I am glad to have found your blog through the Thursday Favorites blog hop. Michelle, nice to meet you and thanks for your comment. This is witnessed by a man but isn't believed when he talks about it in the pub. After crossing the Time Barrier Liz and Simon encounter this teenager and help her return to the present day. In the second serial, "The Time of the Ice Box", this icy wilderness is revealed to be Antarctica in the year Liz and Simon are rescued from the ice and brought to a research base — the International Institute for Biological Research, nicknamed the "Ice Box" - headed by Morgan C.
In the present, Traynor is amazed to learn of Devereaux's presence in the future; he had been a student of Devereaux's and believed he had died in Meanwhile, Liz is stunned when she encounters first her mother, and then her future self — a cold, emotionless, scientist going by the name Beth Mary Preston — working in the Ice Box. Her father Frank is also there, but has been buried under the ice for ten years as part of an experiment, which Liz only discovers later to her disgust and horror.
PAMELA HARTSHORNE ON THE APPEAL OF TIME-SLIP
The staff of the Ice Box are conducting controlled experiments on human volunteers, including tests of longevity drug called HA A catalogue of failures has been plaguing the research effort, but Devereaux refuses to entertain the possibility that the base computer is making errors.
The failures get worse, and Devereaux's behaviour becomes more and more erratic. Liz and Simon learn that Devereaux is a clone of the original Devereaux, the first in the world. Investigating further, Liz and Simon discover that the purpose of the computer is to create a new clone of Devereaux.
This is so that the formula for the longevity drug, which is known only to Devereaux and not written down, can be preserved and kept secret.

The Ice Box researchers confront Devereaux, attempting to convince him that the computer is malfunctioning. Devereaux is unable to accept his failing and, suffering a mental breakdown, escapes out into the Antarctic ice. As the computer fails, the base begins to freeze over.
The staff, including Jean and Beth, each take a dose of an anti-freeze formula in the hope of surviving the cold until rescue arrives. Liz and Simon depart; as they approach the Time Barrier, they discover the frozen body of Devereaux.
Agony Aunts
Traynor warns them not to use the Time Barrier again. Determined to prevent the future of the Ice Box that they have witnessed, and curious as to what Traynor is afraid they might discover, they disobey him and once more enter the Time Barrier.
Once again, they end up in , but in an alternate future to that of the Ice Box. In this future, England is covered in tropical rainforest. Once again, Liz encounters her future self, Beth once more played by Mary Preston.

This time, however, she is a hippy Earth mother type who has rebelled against the technocracy that rules this future world, and lives in a primitive village with similar misfits. Simon also encounters his future self — a technocrat known as Controller David Graham , charged with implementing the Master Plan intended to reshape the Earth to the benefit of mankind. The Master Plan had originally been devised in by Traynor. However, has since usurped him, and now Traynor, who is still alive in , is determined to wreak his revenge.
Traynor sabotages the computer managing the Master Plan. His interference ruins the Earth's climate, causing global temperatures to soar and leading to an environmental collapse of devastating proportions. Beth aids Liz and Simon in returning through the Time Barrier before heading for the safety of some caves with the misfits and , who has seen the error of his ways, where there is water and they might stand a chance of survival. The final serial, "The Day of the Clone", ties together many of the elements of the previous serials. Believing that Beth needs her help, Liz attempts to return to via the Time Barrier, but is kidnapped by Traynor.
Simon goes looking for Liz and tracks her to R1, a secret research establishment under Traynor's command. The children learn that R1 was established by Morgan C. Devereaux to research into the longevity drug — HA57 — that the children previously encountered in the Ice Box. They break out of R1 and, with Traynor in pursuit, they make their escape through the Time Barrier, which transports them to the year Realising that Devereaux would have been alive in this time, they return to R1. There the children learn that R1 is not only researching longevity, but also cloning. Devereaux believes that for the cloning and longevity process to be a success, subjects must also undergo psychological reconditioning, but Traynor, who is working at R1 as the Government's representative, disagrees, believing that Devereaux is turning the volunteer subjects into brainwashed puppets.
When Traynor threatens to shut down R1, Devereaux has him detained and replaced by a clone. Simon realises that it is Devereaux who is the source of the dystopian futures they have witnessed, and that the Traynor they know has been a clone all along. A String in the Harp by Nancy Bond 3.
