The Time Museum, Volume 2

by Matthew Loux

Overview

In this second volume of the Time Museum duology by Matthew Loux, Delia and her team of time travelers head to Versailles in 1778.

Delia and her fellow time travelers are ready for their next big mission, and this time they won’t be working alone. With the help of a more seasoned Epoch Squad, led by none other than President Richard Nixon himself, the team heads back in time to save a historical alliance between the United States and France.

The plan goes awry and they find themselves trapped in the wrong reality, where the only ones who can help them are...themselves? Will the team be able to ditch their itchy French formal wear and escape the time loop they’re trapped in? Or will this be their last mission?

From the Publisher

2019-04-14
A mission back to 18th-century France traps Delia Bean and her Epoch Squad in a time loop from which they have to be rescued by their later selves.

Hidden agendas and wheels within wheels begin to emerge in this follow-up to the 2017 opener as the newly fledged squad is trained by genial time traveler Richard Nixon ("They always guess JFK!" he booms) in various seemingly random skills that turn out to be oddly useful later on. They are then sent to a ball in 1778, where their mysterious nemesis, the Grey Earl, first traps them, then secretly allows them to escape as part of some larger scheme. Meanwhile, nascent romances bloom and wilt, troubling revelations about the Time Museum's origins come to light, and the squad shows its mettle in first battling a plant monster and later an outsized armored warrior. Though his panels tend to be small and tightly packed, Loux shows rare talent for depicting thrillingly dangerous-looking adversaries and cranking up both action and comedy with close-ups of wide-eyed, wide-mouthed faces. Nixon, who often looks more like Bob Hope (and behaves more like Robin Williams), is a scene stealer, but Delia and her team are lively enough to keep the plot moving along briskly. Except for new addition Pauline, a dark-skinned British rock guitarist with a thing for Delia, diversity markers are present but barely visible in the cast.

More excitement in the time stream—but always with time to party in between. (Graphic science fiction. 10-13)
