Joe Haldeman "has quietly become one of the most important science fiction writers of our time" (Rocky Mountain News). Now he delivers a provocative novel of a man who stumbles upon the discovery of a lifetime-or many lifetimes. Grad-school dropout Matt Fuller is toiling as a lowly research assistant at MIT when, while measuring subtle quantum forces that relate to time changes in gravity and electromagnetic force, his calibrator turns into a time machine. With a dead-end job and a girlfriend who has left him for another man, Matt has nothing to lose taking a time machine trip himself-or so he thinks.

A Good Read

My first Haldeman novel and it won't be the last. A pretty quick read, it is also a very good read that keeps you interested. A good twist on time travel -

A book with a hook

The hook was set within the first couple of pages. From then on, I was pulled through time. It was one of those books that you don't want to end!

Interest read with weak ending

This is a fine piece of fiction work on the topic of time travel, it touches all the interesting aspects involved, even though the actual travelling is mostly forward.

The author used the forwarding time travel to trace the evolution steps of human society, some of them are interesting. However the ending seems to be rushed, it basically invokes a higher power to solve everything which is disappointing.

Good "Travel" Book....

....as in my personal travel from Michigan to Chicago on the train. Quick and entertaining read. Although as others have said there are many loose ends and the books loses momentum about half-way through. This is my first novel by this author so I don't have anything to compare it to. All in all, a good beach, or travel read.

Lame ending

I'm with J. Yuziuk "I love the time travel genre and was eager to read this book. As I approached the end of the book, I began to realize that there was no way the loose ends were going to be wrapped up in time. Sure enough, the ending was about as lame as it gets. I felt a little cheated, but most of the book was pretty good. I won't put in a spoiler, but don't expect too much.
