Gene’s Reviews > The Mammoth Book of Time Travel SF > Status Update

PALELY LOITERING Christopher Priest - 2 - interesting, in that it seemed to be a pastiche of the old style of sci Fi written in late 1890's, but the story was a bit too convoluted to really follow too well.

THE PUSHER John Varley - 0 - absolutely disgusting story about using relativistic travel for grooming thing girls

TWEMBER Steve Rasnic Tem - 1 - WTF did I just read? Storms of broken time risking across the land like tornadoes, I think. Pointless.

TRAVELLER’S REST David I. Masson - 3 - a little difficult to follow, but an interesting concept about time progressing at different rates

“IN THE BEGINNING, NOTHING LASTS . . .” Mike Strahan - 5 - absolutely devastating story about the world running in reverse

AFTER-IMAGES Malcolm Edwards - 4 - interesting idea of slowing of time around a nuclear blast

THE VERY SLOW TIME MACHINE Ian Watson - 4 - Utterly fascinating but missed the landing with a spiritual, new age mumbo-jumbo ending

COMING BACK Damien Broderick - DNF - Could not figure out who the characters were, what was happening or even if it was supposed to be told in 1st person or 3rd

LEGIONS IN TIME Michael Swanwick - 5 - wonderfully strange, loved every bit of this awesome little story. Would love to see more of this world

WOMEN ON THE BRINK OF A CATACLYSM Molly Brown - 3.5 - a little longer and more repetitive than it needed to be
