Beat To A Pulp: A Rip Through Time is a gritty adventure with all the elements of science fiction noir, combined with a two fisted old school hero, who can still be played by a beautiful femme fatale. Although written by a combination of authors, they blended the adventure together seamlessly with common cause, but distinctive voice. The final elements of this pulp bargain included an engrossing horror touch in The Final Painting of Hawley Exton and a very entertaining essay on H.G. Wells and the mechanics of time travel.
