Author: Stuart GordonFIRE IN THE ABYSS is an interesting time-travel novel in that its main character, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, comes from the 16th Century. He, along with about a hundred other individuals, are plucked from their respective time-periods by the military's Project Vulcan. And, once in the present day, the government doesn't know what to do with them. The answer: keep them locked up until they go away. Well, this doesn't sit right with many of them, and Humphrey, along with an Egyptian Priestess, a Norse giant and a dancer from ancient North America, escape into the world. By this time, though, they've established a telepathic link amongst themselves, an ability modern man has lost.Humphrey, or 'Humf' as his friends know him, narrowly escapes one predicament after another, all of which is told primarily through the notebook of memoirs he is writing down. As time travel novels go this is a good read.
