Time Blender by Michael Dorn

by Michael Dorn

Archeologist Tony Miller was a skeptic. He had heard the stories about the remote volcanic island where ships and planes disappeared. But as a scientist, Miller needed proof, not rumors. So he flew over the island, and saw for himself the million-year horror that waited inside the crater. Just then, his seaplane's engine stopped.

Fun time travel adventure story. Quick read.

[Mark Hartman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun science fiction time travel novel. I doubt Michael Dorn actually wrote this but instead was the two authors on the title page. Tony Miller barely escapes an island with his friend as a tsunami crashes over it eliminating everything. After flying away the plane stops and they land on another island where Tony finds an artifact that causes gravity near it. The ending is not very satisfying because it sets up a sequel that never happened as far as I can tell. Pretty interesting novel that could have been better had there been a sequel.

It’s like a 2.5/5.

It’s really silly and stupid. The main guy is black Indiana Jones but dumber. It’s entertaining enough and a super easy read. I’m actually disappointed that there’s no sequel cause there are ideas here! Wanted to see how the bizarre premise would play out. Alas.

Biggest thing I learned was Michael Dorn was in Star Trek VI, I had no idea. I bought the book for the awesome cover and because he wrote it (actually co-wrote which you see when you open the book).

The premise looked promising. Who wouldn't like a world in which characters from several times and places share page time? Well...it just got really weird really quickly. Sure, Dorn has seen a lot of weird during his time on Star Trek TNG. But...I just wound up with that infamous "What the bleep did I just read?" feeling.

If I had paid more than a couple of dollars for it I'd be annoyed. Wasn't the worst way to kill a few hours though.

Interesting story

Is it the best book ever? No, but it is a fun and weird Indianian Jones-esque romp through the collapse of the fabric of time.
