Book Description

October 16, 2010
In the 2150's, a scientist discovers time is actually fluid; past, present, and future all exist at the same time. What he doesn't know, is if the current timeline can change when something is changed in the past. The US government wants him to find out. The theme being to make right what once went wrong.

Unfortunately, a group of time travelers from 50 years in the future are determined to stop the scientist from changing the past. So, they steal the spaceship Einstein, which has the time device on board, causing them to end up in 20th century Earth, which sets up a time loop until the scientist and his group break it by beginning their missions. When they end up back in their present time, they find things have changed, but not necessarily for the better. Will they return to the point in time where everything changed, or will they decide they've messed with history too much? Find out in this time travel novella.

I applaud the author for this piece, but unfortunately this fails to meet the grade. He combines themes and ideas from Star Trek and Back to the Future along with some originality. The writing ranges from interesting to downright boring. I felt as though I was reading something written by 2 people combined into one. Too little time is spent on what would be interesting parts. The ending completely falls apart. I skimmed the ending in shear frustration.
Need to expand the idea,more time in the past with the events. Get rid of the "Star Trek" terminology.The idea of slingshot around the sun is trite. The ending needs to be far more interesting.It completely falls apart- obviously rushed to complete the tale. A more subtle finish with a better twist. I'd rather a longer book than this. And while you spent a lot of time on this (wordplay here) I am not happy I spent 7.20. That is a price of a real book....

First, apologies to the auther...I'm sure you tried hard and it's admirable that you wrote and published a book.

Where to begin? Ok, the author draws heavily from other popular science fiction, without making an effort to explore any original ideas. There's almost no character development and the author just assumes everyone knows what he's thinking on the parts left out.

The various conversations that take place read as if a 6th grader was trying hard to use direct speech to impress his English teacher.

This is one of the few books I was not able to finish - life is just too short!

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs a Little More Work November 15, 2010
By jemma

I love all things related to time travel, that being said I was a little disappointed with this book.It starts out okay but quickly goes down hill. Halfway through the book it felt like it ran out of ideas and became a race to get to the end of the book.
The dialog seems a little forced and slightly old fashioned. It reminded me of Sci-fi books written it the 1960s.
The action scenes are the same formula over and over again. Not very exciting or unexpected, just flat. To me it seemed to just rushed.
