“—Professor Charles Smart GROSVENOR SQUARE, MAYFAIR, LONDON, 1899 Woodrow Rosenbaum was the youngest soldier in Colonel Box’s original unit that had time-jumped back from twentieth-century London. At the time, Rosenbaum had been pretty anxious to get the hell out of Dodge, so to speak, because he had been way down the debt hole with a couple of London shylocks, with no reasonable hope of climbing out, short of robbing a bank. And now he was in deep again with Victorian bookmakers, specifically t...he Ram king, Otto Malarkey. So this assignment suited him very well indeed. Two birds with one stone, as it were. He was carrying out his orders and wiping clean his debt. Not that it mattered in the long term, because Malarkey had lost his crown; but Rosenbaum did not want the details of his gambling problem getting back to the colonel, who considered gambling a horribly inefficient use of currency.
Rosenbaum was the colonel’s go-to guy when it came to up-close assassinations.MoreLess Read More Read Less
