Get ready for a bit of a mind flip because this is a story about a time warp but there’s no Frank’n Furter or any fun at all. We go a little bit into the past but mostly we go into the future and it’s not good. In the future people are living in colonies under big domes on the moon and getting inflicted by waves of deadly pandemic. There might be some sort of glitch in the space-time continuum but Dr Who’s not there to sort things out, no there’s a strange priest in the forest, there’s a musician in an airship terminal, there’s a man with a gun under an overpass being framed for murder and it’s all very confusing. Like another reviewer here on Goodreads said, nothing makes me feel dumber than reading a book about time travel.

Gretchen Bernet-Ward You made me smile (in a good way) and since I am a bit of a speculative fiction geek I will give this one a go!


Carmel Good review! I struggled with this story - it really didn’t make me feel smart either!


Cathie Mascord You crack me up!


Anita Tymkiw Your review was way more compelling than the book. Very clever and funny. What a disappointment this one was.
