    Where the great plain of Tarphet runs up, as the sea in estuaries, among the Cyresian mountains, there stood long since the city of Merimna well-nigh among the shadows of the crags. I have never seen a city in the world so beautiful as Merimna seemed to me when first I dreamed of it. It was a marvel of spires and figures of bronze, and marble fountains, and trophies of fabulous wars, and broad streets given over wholly to the Beautiful. Right through the centre of the city there went an avenue fifty strides in width, and along each side of it stood likenesses in bronze of the Kings of all the countries that the people of Merimna had ever known. At the end of that avenue was a colossal chariot with three bronze horses driven by the winged figure of Fame, and behind her in the chariot the huge form of Welleran, Merimna's ancient hero, standing with extended sword. So urgent was the mien and attitude of Fame, and so swift the pose of the horses, that you had sworn that the chariot was instantly upon you, and that its dust already veiled the faces of the Kings. And in the city was a mighty hall wherein were stored the trophies of Merimna's heroes. Sculptured it was and domed, the glory of the art of masons a long while dead, and on the summit of the dome the image of Rollory sat gazing across the Cyresian mountains towards the wide lands beyond, the lands that knew his sword. And beside Rollory, like an old nurse, the figure of Victory sat, hammering into a golden wreath of laurels for his head the crowns of fallen Kings.

    The Great War is over, and jobs are scarce. Tommy Beresford and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley meet and agree to start their own business as The Young Adventurers. They are hired for a job that leads them both to many dangerous situations, meeting allies as well, including an American millionaire in search of his cousin. It started with the sinking of the Lusitania. . . . An American, carrying secret papers, placed them in the care of a young American woman. She was to carry them to England, and advertise for the American: if he did not answer her ad, she should assume he was lost, and place the papers in the hands of the American Ambassador. The American survived, thank God. But the girl whom he entrusted disappeared before she could advertise for him. The papers she carried are lost -- and even now, five years later, the fate of England's postwar recovery depends upon them. . . . (Jacketless library hardcover.)

    There Will Be Time is a grab bag of a novel, a murder mystery, a comic look at life in a small college in the Carolina mountains where relations between faculty, staff, and administration are on a relatively first name basis and everyone seemingly knows everybody else's business.Wilson Roberts knows such places, having taught at Lees-McRae College in the Carolina Mountains, Paul Smiths College in the northern Adirondacks, Delaware Valley College in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Greenfield Community College in Massachusetts. He brings wit and insight into his depiction of campus life, as in his description of the single faculty apartment building at Banner Grove College: "The apartments had been built quickly and cheaply by a sub-assistant dean of grass cutting who hadn't spent a cent more than necessary to get an occupancy permit from the building inspector, who was his wife's brother."There Will Be Time will entertain any reader. It's a thrilling murder mystery filled with humor, suspense, a love of life in academic Siberia, and amusing insights into that life.
