This is the World of Shangri-La Time Station. A world in which foolish tourists wander from era to era, striving to violate the “butterfly principle.” A world in which professional guides - “time scouts” - damn their vile work, because at least try to keep track of a gaping gourmet who is capable of falling, along with a pseudo-Roman sausage tray, to the bottom of a suddenly emerging prehistoric ocean! However, now Time travelers are in for an absolutely amazing... um... safari. No more and no less - the hunt for the most famous of serial killers, Jack the Ripper himself!!! Sheer delight! Maybe. But, by the way, the Ripper knows nothing about the immunity of tourists from the world of ROBERT ASPRIN’S FAMOUS SERIES “TIME STATION”!..
