#5 Life in Georgian England seems civilized in 'Slaves for the Isabella'. But Joe soon finds the civility is only skin deep. Can he save the slaves he meets from a terrible fate?
#6 Victorian England is nothing like Joe expected in 'The Shimmer on the Glass'. But photography has arrived: will it prove that Joe has actually been in the past?
#7 Bombs are raining down on Liverpool in 'The Ring from the Ruins'. Will an air raid put an end to Joe's time travelling? Worse, will the lethal force of the Luftwaffe be the end of Lucy herself?
