The Time Traveller thus has to solve a dilemma – allow his friend to die, and cause the later death of millions, or give up Weena forever. The Man Who Loved Morlocks (1981) and The Truth about Weena (1998) are two different sequels, the former a novel and the latter a short story, by David J. Lake.

In this story, the Time Traveller accidentally damages the space-time continuum and is transformed into the vampire-like Dark Rider. The 2003 short story "On the Surface" by Robert J.
