A Phenomemonal Novel

This story is incredibly different from any other science fiction out there! It's a brilliant, enrapturing tale that is very well thought out, with every detail clicking into place by the end!

Brilliant!

What a delight this book was! It really focused more on Dr. Trenton's alien encounter than on time travel mechanics. A quirky scientist, who had been prominent in time travel research when he disappeared 20 years ago, suddenly reappears and is placed in a government facility for treatment and evaluation. The book is written in interview form, as a psychiatrist tries to help him remember and recount what happened when he used his time machine. Through miscalculation and lack of understanding of the nature of time, he ended up stranded on a strange planet. This sounds silly, but somehow it is presented so well that it's almost believable. It is most certainly entertaining. This author is obviously highly imaginative and immensely creative. If you enjoy time travel stories, you'll find this one breaks the mold. I recommend it highly for those who enjoy an imaginary jaunt through both space and time, and who are not afraid to meet an alien who is not so alien once you get to know him!

Mmm...time travel

If you're a fan of science fiction in general and time travel stories in particular, get yourself in on this interesting take on a familiar, much-loved theme. An imaginative and unique tale of one man's ambition to manipulate time, and the bizarre (possibly terrible) consequences which result. Check it out.

Clever and Surprising

Picked this book up on the recomendation of an old friend. It had been a few years since I had read a lot of science fiction, but I really enjoyed this book. The story develops really well, and it gives you different ideas to think about.Highly recomended.
