Year	1991
Publisher	Grafton (Berkley Publishing)
ISBN	0586214232

Synopsis	Do unto others before they do unto you ... with a time machine. What is so special about Lord Kelvin's machine? The diabolical Dr Ignacio Narbondo would kill to possess it. The accomplished scientist and detective Langdon St. Ives would do anything to use it. For within its magical gears lies the secret of time ... the means for Dr Narbondo to master the world ... and the method by which St. Ives can avert the doom of his beloved wife. A devilish race against time, indeed. Especially when arch rivals of the present meet their future in the past!

Review	Set in a Victorian London that never quite existed, Lord Kelvin's Machine is nerve-wrenching, deeply moving, and sparked with comic touches. 'Refreshing natural lunacy. James Blaylock is a true American original' Bruce Sterling James Blaylock is a singular American fabulist' William Gibson

Spirit Back in Action This image shows the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit's "hand," or the tip of the instrument deployment device, poised in front of the rock nicknamed Adirondack, the rover's first science target. In preparation for grinding into Adirondack, Spirit cleaned off a portion of the rock's surface with a stainless steel brush located on its rock abrasion tool, seen here at the top of its hand (in the center of the image).
