5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful, June 25, 2002

By	Beverly J. Scott "Author and avid reader" (Ankeny, IA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although I don't usually read science fiction, once I adjusted to the terminology of "Time Shift" by Phillip Ellis Jackson, I was hooked. Using real life drama, authentic sounding dialogue and believable action the reader is drawn into the midst of a thriller plot. The author's talented blend of murder, suspense and romance will keep you turning pages through to the apt ending. Science Fiction fans this is one you will definitely enjoy.
Add "Time Shift" to your shopping cart, this well written narrative is a worthy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a unique story!, June 10, 2001

By	Robert Pearson - See all my reviews

Beta Light is the best new spin on a time travel story that I've come across in a long time. Timeshift is a good mixture of science and technology with real, life-like characters who aren't always perfect. They make mistakes, and struggle to figure things out just like real people do. I loved the ending. It brings closure to the original story while setting things up for the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Book, May 24, 2003

By A Customer

This is a fun book that puts a new spin on time travel stories. Instead of bombarding us with incomprehensible techno-babble, the author focuses on the characters to make the book work. We come to know even the minor characters well (their foibles and all.) This isn't for the hard core science junkies, but it doesn't try to be, although the "science" is at least as believable as a Star Trek episode. I really enjoyed the beta light machine that works like a fiber optic device, transmitting sound and images through light.
