A Book in Review: Jaclyn the Ripper

Jaclyn the Ripper By: Karl Alexander
Fiction: historical, 334 pages
Book Count: 11

First, this book is not based on the theory that Jack the Ripper may have been a woman. It is the sequel to another book called "Time After Time" (which was made into a movie) about H.G. Wells having an actual time machine and Jack the Ripper (who was really Leslie John Stephenson in this storyline)stealing it. In this book Jack comes back from the end of time where he was imprisoned and due to problems with time travel ends up as a woman. Wells' wife has traveled to 2010 to warn her parents about a possible earthquake which is where Jack ends up as well. H.G.Wells goes to 2010 to find his wife and spends the novel finding her and trying to stop Jack, who he doesn't know is now a female.
