A Matter of Time (Book) - 8/9/2009 1:36:59 PM
“A Matter of Time” by Hugh Grayson is a fast paced science fiction story that bridges the past and the future. It is Mr. Grayson’s first novel and he has done it right.
The story starts with a long running secret project involving the discovery of time travel. During this project it is learned that the world is going to be destroyed in the not too distant future. Only a small number of people can be saved. “A Matter of Time” tells the story of a man named Stell, who is one of these incredibly fortunate travelers. Not merely content with his own life being saved, he is appalled at some of the crimes committed in the future and decides to fix them. Using devilishly clever techniques, Stell meets with some success, but unfortunately, things go terribly wrong.
In the story, an ancient tale, which we have all heard, is seen with a new vision. Also, things in our present time appear almost alien to Stell, yet we eventually perceive what these things are - and that’s a lot of fun!
Many clever twists and turns keep the story fresh and interesting. It is a thoroughly good read.
This book will remain on my bookshelf to be read again. I recommend “A Matter of Time” to teens and adults alike. It is a good escape and an interesting story – with some surprising twists that you won’t see coming.
