A homework assignment to write an essay about what his life might be like a few decades into his future should be an easy task for Sam Foster. After all, Sam is the inventor of a time machine. With his friend from the past, Meg Clayton, Sam journeys to the year 2040 to investigate his fate firsthand. It doesn't take long for Sam to find information about his future self. Not only does he become a wealthy businessman, he makes a name for himself in the world of computer technology. It appears Sam is destined for fame and fortune. But the pair also discovers something about "Older Sam" that stuns Sam's future self died just five years earlier, at the age of 45. Will Sam and Meg be able to stop this "future shock" from happening? Or is Sam's destiny sealed for all time?
Another great book in this series! I enjoyed Sam's meeting with his future self as well as all the references to hockey (being a hockey fan myself). This book was thoroughly enjoyable and as always, the characters are wonderful to spend time with. I hate having to leave them when the book ends! Fortunately for me, there are two more books in this series to read...
Once again this was an absolutely fantastic read! And indeed a future shock! At several points I couldn't stop reading anxious to find out what would happen and whether everything should turn out all right in the end. Interestingly enough the book ends with a question mark over whether it will, which certainly makes me eager to keep on reading the series and find out what Sam and Meg do next. For anyone interested in time travelling tales I recommend this series, you won't be disappointed!
