DESCRIPTION:
Time travel can be a useful resource, but what if something unexpected goes wrong?
In the year 3236, the government uses time travel to document the mistakes of the past. It’s a way to gain power in the present by learning from history.
During a leap back to WWII, Astro-archeologist Julie finds her safe projection hasn’t gone as planned. Instead of the ethereal presence she’s supposed to be, she’s actually visible. What will that mean when she stumbles upon a small village being raided by German soldiers?
Faced with death all around her, Julie has to find her way back to the future. But when she returns, will she be the same person she was? Or will the paradoxes of time travel change her life forever?
MY REVIEW:
I’ve read several of Mossman’s books, and I think this one is my favorite. I love time travel stories and this one is very well done.
The story takes place in the future and Julie goes back in time to document events in our history to use as learning tools for the future. But this one specific jump back, something goes horribly wrong and Julie is now faced with death.
Julie’s character is very well written and we feel her emotions as she realizes she’s not just a projection but can be physically harmed. And when she finally gets back to her time, we go through her disorientation of everything around her. What’s wrong, why did it happen, and can it be corrected?
This short story does have a resolution, but the reader is left with their own questions. As mentioned in other reviews, we want answers. LOL.
If you love TV shows like Quitman Leap or Sliders, you’ll want to read this book. I highly recommend it and give it 5 starts.
