Editorial Reviews
Review
In Adventures in Spacetime, Derrick Neill has created an imaginarium for humans and saurians of all ages. A wonderful storyteller, his characters range from the familiar to the fantastic, and with them he leads us into his own unique realm of science fiction. Neill's first novel reveals the budding talent of a writer who promises to reward us again and again. -- Mountain View News, February 12, 1997
From the Back Cover
This science fiction novel tells the story of dinosauroid starpilot, Gekko Troodahn, who as a result of an accident in hyperspace, finds himself lost in an alternative timetrack populated by beings that are aliens to him...and the aliens are us.
All Gekko wants to do is find his way home, but thwarting him at every turn is his nemesis, Shang the Maljugador, a gremlinlike creature from a distant star cluster. Due to Shang's meddling, an unlikely mix of Earthlings becomes inextricably involved in Gekko's plight.
Embarking on an odyssey through time that takes them from the frenzied halls of a small town middle school and the sheer rock cliffs of a towering granite peak to the underwater realm of the mighty killer whale and the all-too-violent era of the legendary mountain men, Gekko and the Earthlings struggle to overcome Shang.
Finally, there is a showdown. Amidst the most cataclysmic event in Earth's history - the comet collision that ended the reign of the dinosaurs - Gekko and Shang duel with giant cyborgs as weapons to determine not only their fates, but also the fate of the Earthlings and the fate of the planet itself. In the end, only one prevails.

Spacetime,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventures In Spacetime (Paperback)
The unfurling plot, and very real characters quickly draw the reader in. I had a deep desire to know what is going to happen to each personality in this sci-fi novel. As the adventures deepen and expand it is impossible to put this book down. The intriguing real historical events, along with vivid descriptive inserts of dirt biking,mountain climbing, and marine biology make this book interesting for many diverse readers. It begs a sequel though with the ending. I wonder if the author will consider one someday?
