Connie returned to the idea in Doomsday Book (1993) in which Kivrin Engel travels back from 2054 to England in 1320 with unforeseen consequences in both times. This is a notion that she first explored in a short story called Fire Watch (1983) in which an historian joins the fire watch protecting St Paul’s during the Blitz. ![]() ![]() Blackout and All Clear are two in a series of novels that Connie has written about “historians,” researchers from the mid 21st century who travel back in time to carry historical research, embedding themselves in the past. ![]()
