Inside the Time Traveler Series
Each of Professor Mellon's 8 letters is sent from a different moment in history.
Letter 1
The California Gold Rush
1849. Professor Mellon lands knee-deep in mud, meets a young Mark Twain at a poker table, and stumbles into a temporal paradox involving a gold nugget the size of a goose egg.
Letter 2
Pompeii
79 CE, four days before the volcano Vesuvius erupts. The Professor arrives in the middle of a bustling street market with no escape plan and a ticking clock.
Letter 3
Ancient Rome
Alexandria and Rome, 47 BCE. A navigation miscalculation lands the Professor in one of history's most dangerous political intrigues, face to face with Cleopatra.
Letter 4
The Constitutional Convention
Philadelphia, 1787. The Professor lands in the middle of the debates that nearly tore the new nation apart — and ends up in a private conversation with Benjamin Franklin.
Letter 5
The Eiffel Tower Opening
Paris, May 1889. Professor Mellon gets stranded at the top of the Eiffel Tower during its inaugural ascent with Gustave Eiffel himself and no obvious way back down.
Letter 6
Discovery of Machu Picchu
The Peruvian Andes, July 1911. Altitude sickness, a near-fatal encounter with a llama, and the ethical complexity of watching one of archaeology's most celebrated moments unfold up close.
Letter 7
The Birth of Rock and Roll
Memphis, Tennessee, 1954. The Professor lands at the Overton Park Shell as a young truck driver named Elvis Presley is about to perform and change American culture forever.
