Chronospace

A fast-paced time travel novel, you will not be dissapointed ! one of the better novels written by the author in recent years.

I've read many time travel novels over the years and this one is amongst the best.In a genre that has been gone over so many times it's hard not to be cliched but Steele pulls it off.The action is fairly fast paced and the book is hard to put down. There are enough questions and bits of mystery to keep the reader tantilized.The story shifts gears many times and with little confusion considering the topic and the numerous timelines and settings. This is what I refer to as clasic modern science fiction. Not quite hard science but close enough and without the pitfalls somany other stories fall prey to. The end may be a bit disapointing but not by much. Not in reference to the rest of the story. It basically all ties together something which several other stories I've read recently fail to do.I've been a fan of Steele since his debut and have yet to be displeased with any of his work. He is a modern master of sf and I look forward to his future pieces.

I generally avoid stories with the physical time travel concepts and altering the past, but on occasion, an author can make me forget my hang-ups about the concepts. As promised by a friend, Chronospace was intelligently written, and I was able to let go and become immersed in an interestingly hypothetical, suspenseful stage of events. The concept of "aliens" being from the future is not entirely new, but perhaps equally plausible to being from distant galaxies light years away. In my opinion, conceptually this novel's premise cannot be entirely dismissed, and therein lies part of the pleasure of getting lost in this story. As I did initially, don't let the time travel sci-fi keep you from reading this one. This was well handled here. This was actually my first Steele novel, but certainly won't be my last!

When a time ship crew inadvertently changes the past, they find their future in jeopardy and a newfound understanding of time lines challenges in this fast-paced, absorbing novel. Parallel universes and the dilemmas of a time-lost crew keep Chronospace fast-paced and hard to put down.
