Ned Henry is a time-travelling historian who specializes in the mid-20th century, currently engaged in researching the bombed-out Coventry Cathedral. He has made so many drops into the past that he is suffering from a dangerously advanced case of time-lag.

Unfortunately for Ned, an emergency dash to Victorian England is required, and he is the only available historian. But Ned's time-lag is so bad that he is not sure what the errand is, which is bad news since, if he fails, history could unravel around him.

Ned sets out on his mission, but soon realizes that he is not alone. He is being followed by a mysterious figure who seems to know everything about Ned's past and future.

As Ned continues his journey, he discovers that the mystery figure is actually a time-traveler from the future who has been sent back in time to prevent a catastrophic event from occurring. The event in question is the bombing of Coventry Cathedral, which occurred during the Second World War and caused widespread destruction and loss of life.

The time-traveler from the future is determined to stop Ned from interfering with history, and he uses all of his knowledge and skills to try to prevent Ned from completing his mission. Ned is a skilled historian, and he is determined to succeed in his mission, no matter what the cost.

As Ned continues to travel through time, he encounters a variety of challenges and obstacles, including time-warping, paradoxes, and other strange and mysterious phenomena. He also meets a variety of historical figures, including Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill, and Albert Einstein, who all have their own unique perspectives on history and the future.

In the end, Ned is able to complete his mission and prevent the bombing of Coventry Cathedral. He is hailed as a hero by the people of the future, and he is also celebrated by the people of the past for his bravery and determination. Ned returns to his own time, but he is forever changed by his experience. He has learned that history is not just about the past, but also about the future, and that the decisions that we make today can have a profound impact on the world that we live in tomorrow.
