Time After Time (1979 novel)
- Time After Time (1979 novel)
"Time After Time" is a 1979 science fiction novel by Karl Alexander. Its plot speculates what might have happened if H. G. Wells had built a real time machine to travel to the 1970s in search of Jack the Ripper.
The novel was adapted to film the same year, under the same title, by Alexander's friend Nicholas Meyer who had optioned the story after reading the early pages. Meyer wrote his screenplay as Alexander finished the novel and the two freely shared ideas for their respective iterations. The film stars Malcolm McDowell as H.G. Wells, David Warner as Jack the Ripper, and Mary Steenbergen as Amy Robbins - a 20th century bank teller with whom Wells becomes involved and whom the Ripper eventually targets as a victim.
