Description
In the 1960s two young scientists, David Evans and Henry Lindstrom, are trying to develop a means of transporting a human being into another time, but they will encounter more than scientific obstacles.
An unscrupulous reporter is convinced that David Evans’ foster family is hiding a secret, and he is determined to discover what it is. At the same time, a fellow scientist is intent on blocking their project and is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy their work. Just what is the secret the Stetson family is hiding, and how is it connected to the time travel project?
While “Time Ship†can be read simply as a story, the book is not intended to be an “Indiana Jones†type action thriller. Instead it attempts to focus on some of the scientific implications that might accompany time travel, as well as to challenge the reader to consider the difficult subject of predestination and free will. The book does not provide “answers†to these questions. Rather it challenges you, the reader, to consider them for yourself as the story unfolds. At the same time, “Time Ship†combines the subject of time travel with elements of an old-fashioned mystery, and a large portion of the book is designed to reveal how all the various elements come together. I invite you to read all the reviews and the sample available online. If you enjoy the kind of thought-provoking challenge I intended for my book, “Time Ship†might just be for you.
