Dear Readers,
So many of you wrote to me after having read The Island Where Time Stands Still, saying that I could not possibly let Erika die, and begging me to write another book in which Gregory found his great love. In this story I have acceded to those requests.
Needless to say, Pierre Lacost and his surviving companions went to the guillotine. James and Olinda married, were beloved by their people and had several beautiful, golden-skinned children. Erika had suffered in no way, apart from her long imprisonment, and after a few weeks became again her old charming self. So our hero and heroine, once more united, lived happily ever after.
