Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1987

Time travel: been there, done that … or at least Frank Mihalik has. On February 17, 1996, Frank discovers the secret to time-travel, or at least he thought he had. He must embark on a voyage through time and space in order to set things right. He must survive parallel universes in which--Oh my!--Shirley Temple plays the awesome role of Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz"! Only his love, Cheryl, can save him, but he is almost tricked by a parallel-dimension Cheryl and potentially wrecks his love life. How will Frank survive this wild jerk through these dark counter-universes? And will our universe ever be the same?

This review is from: The Nick of Time (Kindle Edition)

I love Effinger's work, his Budayeen anthology was incredible! The Nick of Time is absolutely one of the best time travel books I've ever read. It was funny, witty and very clever. It had me captivated all the way through. I would recommend to anyone who likes reading time travel, a fan of George A. Effinger or just looking for a great, captivating read.

Not sure why this book is out of print--it is a really clever, intelligent and funny book! And the non-Amazon supplier from which I got it was excellent. My copy is an old library book in very good condition!
