From Time to Time by Jack Finney

The illustrated novel “From Time to Time” by Jack Finney was published for the first time in 1995. It’s the sequel to “Time and Again”.

Simon “Si” Morley decided to stay in 1882 after his journey through time and married Julia. However, after some time he feels the need to return to his original time to see what happened to the time travel government project. There he gets involved in a mission very different from the original one.

John McNaughton kept the memories of the project after Si Morley’s interference because he’s a time traveler as well. Back to his time, he finds out what happened and can intervene to restore the old timeline. Interfering in history becomes a new foundation in the project and when Si Morley returns to the 20th century, he’s proposed to try to prevent the outbreak of World War I.
