About The Wanderers of Time

But his arrival is observed and his machine attacked and damaged as it departs - instead of returning to 1951, it travels to the far future where mankind has disappeared and the Earth is under the control of machines controlled by insects. Roy finds that several other time-travellers, due to damage and malfunction, have been cast forward to the same time . . .
