Reviews

Timeshift puts a spin on the subject of time travel. ... The author's strongest points are in his ideas and plotting. What happens within the book's technological framework is always intriguing. The chess-like developments of the plot itself are also comfortably paced, and indeed such elements click into place throughout. ... I must also confess that I got an unexpected chill down my back at one of the story's major plot developments. There is some promise for this new writer.
