Title: Intriguing Story
Product review: Alan Fisher, a 20th century engineer, is accidentally whisked into the past when Dira of the 31st century is sent back (as Sophia) on a mission to record the events leading up to the death of Socrates.The narrative in this story is excellent - I really felt like I was experiencing 399 BC. The dialog and character development progress very well as the story evolves. Alan himself undergoes significant spiritual growth in the process.The book contains a significant amount of transcription from the writings of Plato as dialog. For those who are fans of philosophical discussions, this book is a goldmine. There is also a transcription of the play "The Clouds" by Aristophanes.I was pleased to discover the book does not have a fairy-tail ending in which everything works out perfectly. Without giving the ending away, let me just say that there are consequences to the accidental inclusion of Alan on the mission.An enjoyable story - one that I highly recommend.
