Synopsis

The year is 2044. Housed in a secret complex beneath the eastern Arizona desert, a consortium of governments and corporations have undertaken a program on the scale of the Manhattan Project to bludgeon the laws of physics into submission and make time travel a reality.         Fraught with insecurities, Marshall Grissom has spent his whole life trying not to call attention to himself, so he can’t imagine he would be remotely suited for the role of time travel pioneer. He’s even less enthusiastic about this corporate time-travel adventure when he learns that nudity is a job requirement. The task would better match the talents of candidates like the smart and beautiful Sheila Schuler, or the bristle-tough and rattlesnake-mean Marta Hamilton.          As the project evolves into a clash between science and corporate greed, conflicts escalate. Those contributing the funding are mostly interested in manipulating time travel for profit, and will stop at nothing, including murder, to achieve their goals.

Goodreads review by Hannah on July 02, 2020

This was a phenomenal read. I was actually in the middle of another book when I got this; I peeked at it just to see, and next thing I know I am absolutely enthralled. The author, Mike Murphey, clearly a very deep and playful passion for sci-fi from the days of Wells, and the varied and mysterious l......more

Goodreads review by K.A. on August 02, 2020

An excellent science fiction story that doesn't get too wrapped up in the hard science of time travel but focuses instead of the possibility and the possible consequences. The relationships between the characters are well developed and there's a healthy dose of humor that will have you laughing out......more
