Sam Leaps back in time and finds himself in a cemetery where he sees Troian, a beautiful but grief-stricken young woman. On seeing Sam, the woman drags him into a mausoleum where he is confronted by the tomb of Julian Claridge. The woman then tells Sam she is Julian Claridge's widow.

This was the first QL book I got, I was only 12 when I got this book and I couldn't wait to read it. I think it took me about two months to read this book, now I can read it within a few hours.

I recieved this book about the same time QL finished on BBC2. So this book helped me get through the pain.

When I read this book, I'd not seen the episodes. I didn't see them until a months later when BBC2 started to show the earlier seasons as reruns.

I can't get my hands on any QL books.

It's really really hard to find them anywhere now. I got the last couple for my collection over 7 years ago. But I've been collecting them since 1994.
