About this ebook

When physicist Michael Shelborne mysteriously vanishes, his son Shel discovers that he had constructed a time travel device. Fearing his father may be stranded in time—or worse—Shel enlists the aid of linguist Dave MacElroy to accompany him on the rescue mission.
 
Their journey through history takes them from the enlightenment of Renaissance Italy through the American Wild West to the civil-right upheavals of the 20th century. Along the way, they encounter a diverse cast of historical greats, sometimes in unexpected situations. Yet the elder Shelborne remains elusive.
 
And then Shel violates his agreement with Dave not to visit the future. There he makes a devastating discovery that sends him fleeing back through the ages, and changes his life forever.

I loved this book. It was fun having them go into history and back again. The twists and weaving within the book was well done. It could have been very confusing keeping track of who was where and when. I enjoyed that is wasn't cynical or graphic. It was a fun read for sitting on the back deck with an iced tea.

This book can't make up its mind if it is a Syfy or history but unless you really like both 1/2 off this book will bore you. And the ending just kind of fizzles off

Men take the lead in this book. A love story with a bit of a triangle. A murder mystery...watch for clues. A meet and greet characters in history. Wrapped in a well woven cloth of words. I really like this book.
