Title: A Christian tract
Product review: The time travel concept of this book was good, although the writing was stiff (obviously the author's first novel with all the inherent shortcomings). The story was okay until it became obvious that this was written to advance a very Christian point of view. I don't mind a little religion, but this was preachy and too obvious. In parts it read like a tract that folks hand out when they are standing on your doorstep. And of course the author totally ignores the time travel paradox at the end -- if the inventor of time travel is removed by time travelers, how can time travel have been invented for them to do so? -- explaining it to have been God's will to have worked it all out. (I guess that's the ultimate deus ex machina!) Skip this one for a lot better works by Jack Finney and Jack McDevitt.
