Well-developed characters and a crisply-moving plot make this time-travel tale an engaging, rewarding read. If you grant Chen the future-reality of time-travel, the underlying mechanisms of controlling access and managing those who would change history for their own benefit are well-thought-out and logical.
What would you do to protect your child? What would you do if that question was complicated by time travel and simultaneous realities? Around these questions, Mike Chen builds the story of Here and Now and Then. The book is part science fiction adventure and part emotional family story, which makes for an interesting mix. I completely do not expect where this book goes and how the ending brings it full circle. That makes for a most satisfying conclusion to a fun reading experience.
