'CONTINUUM CHRONOLOGY' ENGLAND
& the BRITISH ISLES My three linked-novels, 'A Dangerous Energy', 'To Build Jerusalem' and 'The Two Confessions' [ henceforth ADE, TBJ and TTC respectively ] are set within, I trust, an internally consistent altered time-line. For reasons too implausible and complex to explain, I christened the thing 'Continuum' history. Here it is, as gleaned from the books. Any mistakes you may delusionally perceive are the result of typing errors or duff info from - other - negligent historians. The Chronology is divided into the following sections:
