A very well crafted tale of time travel that avoids paradox. "Time travel only appears to be a paradox when viewed through a three-dimensional window."
The "science" is given to the reader through a character who doesn't really understand it, which is usually a pet peeve of mind since it gives the author an out as far as really thinking it through and making it make sense. Not so with this book--quotes from the scientist who DOES understand it gives you just enough information to make you stop reading, look up, and give it some intense thought. This is what I like about science fiction, and this book does it well.
While there is a great deal of violence in the story line, most of it is handled peripherally so the reader is not exposed to a lot of gratuitous action and gore.
This is my first exposure to this author and I will definitely seek him out again.
