Farewell Nikola! is a novel by Guy Boothby that tells the story of Nikola, a brilliant and eccentric inventor who has created a machine that can transport people through time. The story is set in London in the late 19th century, and follows the adventures of a young man named Richard Hatteras, who becomes fascinated with Nikola’s invention and the possibilities it holds.As Hatteras begins to explore the machine, he discovers that Nikola has a dark side, and is using the device for his own nefarious purposes. Hatteras must navigate a dangerous world of time-travel and intrigue, as he tries to stop Nikola from using the machine to alter history and gain ultimate power.The novel is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of science fiction, mystery, and suspense. Boothby’s vivid descriptions of Victorian London and his imaginative portrayal of time-travel make for a captivating read, and the characters are richly drawn and full of depth.Farewell Nikola! is a classic of early science fiction, and remains a beloved work of literature to this day. It is a must-read for fans of the genre, as well as anyone who enjoys a thrilling and thought-provoking adventure story.At first I came to the conclusion that it must be a bat, or some night bird, but that theory exploded. Bats do not remain at the same exact distance from the floor, nor do they stand stationary behind a man’s chair for any length of time. The hour will come, however, when it will be possible for us to see these things; I am on the track even now.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
