Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of fun. Maybe not great Literature, and lots of typos, and the blurb & cover a bit overly enthusiastic. But, interesting characters, thought-provoking premise, Sense of Wonder, and What If. I will consider more by the authors.

Co-author David Bischoff. Actually Bischoff wrote most of this based on an old Ted White outline, according White.

1983 Grade A-.
2013 Grade B+.

The story kind of drags in the third era (London) but stick with it. The worst prose was page long paragraphs of "lectures" near the end which also repeat earlier information. I had to speed read those.

Better than1960s Ted White books. Ted White continues his focus on different realities but this one is on a planet vs altnernative deminsions. I found the story follows a similar pattern of the group of main characters jumping between different isolated communities on the planet. I enjoyed the story as a light read and happy that no women were mistreated.
