Time can send a young, struggling Shakespeare his completed works through a wormhole in space, before he's even written them, and can give Leonardo da Vinci a glimpse into the future. Time can stop still, to give you the chance of revenge on a scheming enemy, or can repeat itself, so that you have the opportunity to save a friend and turn your life around. Bad timing can mean that you miss out on the chance of hitting the big time in 1960s Liverpool, or it can put you in the wrong place at the wrong time with terrifying consequences. The impossible becomes possible in the world of the Fourth Dimension.
