The secret of time travel continues to elude the brightest minds of our time, yet the dream of traversing the natural boundaries of linear existence persists. Tales of these fantastic adventures continue to stir the imagination, and propel us into different realms, of the past as it once was, or the future as it could be. What sort of mayhem could a time traveler inflict upon history... or the world beyond tomorrow? The Temporal Element II brings us more thrilling tales of time travel adventure, of people from various time periods visiting their past, or their future, in various ways. Where will they come from, and who will they be? Featuring stories by Lauren A. Forry, Dan Gainor, Bruno Lombardi, Mark Olivares, Diane Arrelle, Nina Longfield, Alex J.

I purchased because I know one of the authors. It is a collection of short stories all related to time travel. I'd actually give it a 3.5 rating. I really enjoyed Original Sin; it would rate a 4.5. Schroedinger's Cat Time Machine completely lost me, but it might be a lack of physics knowledge on my part. Several stories I would rate as 4; a couple as 3; only a few as 2.5. Having a background in science fiction, physics, and/or time travel is pretty essential for taking this collection on.
