Time-travel goodness!
The strengths of the first novella carry over well to the second, with the unforgettable Alice, the protected Jane, and the very interesting Prudence leading the fray.
Out of respect for this not quite being published yet, I'll keep spoilers at bay. Plenty happens *ahemArthurahem* that requires a lot of interesting reveals, but more importantly, the subject of vaccinations and plague takes a front-row seat in this one. Me likey.

Like many, I couldn’t wait to read this sequel to the excellent Alice Payne Arrives.
Heartfield offers us another expertly orchestrated time travel narrative, jumping all over the place, but also grounding our diverse main characters. Alice and Jane are still my favourites, but Prudence and even Auden are developped in a satisfying fashion.

The novella moves briskly, with multiple times visited, and Alice having a fine time putting her highwayman training and impulsiveness coupled with quick thinking into good use. The ...more

The story of Alice Payne, Jane Hodgson and Prudence Zuniga continues as they and their ally Captain Wray Auden continue to meddle in time but trying to stay away from the war between the Farmers and the Misguided. But the team lacks Prudence's training in the subtlety of time travel and the Farmers are far from done with the wayward Major.
If you enjoyed the first one in this incredibly imaginative series, then I recommend this as a logical and well-realized extension of that story. ...more

There’s quite a motley crew Alice is building around her. I wish the story had been a bit ‘fuller’- more character development. But it sounds like we will hear more from this series.
