About the author
Matilda Scotney
14 books49 followersI am a former professional singer and actor who only realised I was ageing when I was offered the part of the ancient, grey-haired Granny in a stage production of The Addams Family. I decided then I had matured enough (physically and mentally) to give away theatre and turn to my other passion; writing, specifically, science fiction and even more specifically, time travel and space opera.
When my mind is not scouring the galaxy for new stories, my trust chihuahua sidekick Oggie by my side, I can be found in Australia with sand between my toes, collecting teapots and nerding out over everything Star Wars.

Intriguing
I loved the story the twists and turns of Ian's and Be that's relationship. The science fiction was great! I'd like an interface! All the pages about the hierarchy rules, traditions, etc, and there were many, were tedious so I skipped most of them. But I'm glad I read the book!

Exciting adventure
A strange new world the author has created, linked into earth history. Makes for a fascinating read. My one concern is all the technical descriptions that my poor brain could not comprehend, but I certainly enjoyed the story!

Something a little different
A time travel sci-fi love story with a difference. Characters you feel drawn to and root for, and a plot with some amazing twists. Loved it!
