Time Travelling Machine Romp, The Agency Of The Inexplicable By Chris Bee, Bursts With Wit And Playfulness

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best book magazine in the UK“, in The Agency Of The Inexplicable by Chris Bee, in 1920, Dr Madeline Drake inherits a time machine and sets off a dangerous chain of events that comes to the attention of paranormal investigator John Hurn and his Agency of the Inexplicable.

The Agency Of The Inexplicable

With uniquely British sensibilities, The Agency Of The Inexplicable by Chris Bee has strong and vivid characterisation, especially the excitable and zealous Dr Drake, and clever, well-constructed plot lines that require a time machine to save the metaverse.

Dr. Madeline Drake, a woman undeniably ahead of her time, inherits a time machine in 1920. The allure of such a device is undeniable, yet time travel demands precision and care. Unfortunately, Madeline, a product of polite English society, possesses an impulsive streak that clashes with the delicate nature of temporal manipulation. Her “Oh bugger, let’s just press this and see what it does” approach, while entertaining, soon has her embroiled in a perilous adventure.

Her reckless time-hopping inadvertently attracts the attention of sinister forces, jeopardizing not only her own timeline but the very fabric of reality. To her rescue comes the “Agency of the Inexplicable,” a clandestine organization tasked with safeguarding history’s integrity. Their top agent, the reserved and methodical John Hurn, is plucked from his ordinary life in 1976 Cheshire and thrust into a world of temporal chaos.

Together, this unlikely duo – the impulsive time traveler and the stoic investigator – must navigate the complexities of the multiverse to rectify Madeline’s mistakes and prevent a cataclysmic unraveling of time.

With the time travel genre enjoying enduring popularity due to its imaginative possibilities and diverse interpretations, Chris Bee has launched his career with a standout novel. And with the calibre of his writing showcasing that he has a whole lot more to offer, this very British steampunk tale most definitely deserves a spot on a best-seller list.

I was born and raised in Lincolnshire, where a lot of the book is set and I spent 25 years working in film and television, although I hasten to add I worked on the technical side not in writing.

A classic car tinkerer and stray moggie collector, The Agency of the Inexplicable is my first novel.
