TimeShift Trilogy
|
Reviews
CURLED UP WITH A GOOD BOOK“Timeshift is a very crisply written novel, a true page turner that takes you breathlessly to its end, almost like falling into the racing swirl of Timeshift's Beta Light machine.
If anyone is looking for a good read for sunning at the beach, or for a long flight, pick up this fine sci-fi thriller. It will definitely keep you engrossed and entertained, right down to the last page.”
SCIFI-STORIES.COM“The Timeshift Trilogy is a great mix between science, technology and life-like characters. We have become fans of Phillip Jackson as a ‘story teller’, just as we know many of those who read these books will too.”
CONSERVATIVE MONITOR
(REVIEW OF TIMESHIFT)“It takes a fine craftsman and storyteller to remove us from the work-a-day world and propel us into a fantastic story that includes a United States split in two like the late Roman Empire, as well as a machine that can view the past the way we might watch a VCR. What makes the book a fascinating read has little to do with these strange, almost foreign, notions, but has everything to do with what has always been the hallmark of good fiction, an interesting plot and good character development. Mr. Jackson is good at developing characters quickly. Even the minor characters generally rise to three dimensions and have mixed motivations and even mixed loyalties.
Timeshift is a fascinating sci-fi thriller that will keep you turning the pages—cover to cover.”
CONSERVATIVE MONITOR
(REVIEW OF WHAT PRICE PARADISE)“The authors take a novel and interesting approach that diverges from the usual assumptions about time travel. The whole conflict about whether time travel should be undertaken at all is distilled down to the goals and aspirations of the two major characters, Keith Maravich and Carson Gilmore, who were once friends, and who must do battle in the past in order to change or save the future, depending on their perspectives. This scenario has been played out before in science-fiction, but it has not been quite so interestingly handled and the outcome was never so much in doubt. The friendship and antagonisms between the two men play a large part in their final struggle, and their fundamental beliefs about time and destiny ultimately bring their conflict to a higher level. What Price Paradise is an action-packed page turner.”
JAMES RIVER PUBLICATIONS [CIVIL WAR WEBSITE]“This [Between Two Worlds] is the first fictional book on the Civil War that I have added to my website. Phillip Jackson brings to the Civil War something other than the run of the mill informational repetoir we have come to expect. He brings a breath of fresh air to us looking to expand our interest in the American Civil War. Take this book on your vacation to the beach; carry it up to your private study and close the door for some personal time with his book's characters.”
APOCALYPSE FICTION MAGAZINE“A post-apocalyptic/time-travel/political-thriller... Timeshift is a novel quite unlike it anything you've read before. Phillip Ellis Jackson is definitely a unique new voice in science fiction!”
FANTASTICA DAILY“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.”
POST-APOCALYPTIC MEDIA“Timeshift and Between Two Worlds are wonderful science fiction. Truly outstanding! If you enjoy time travel books, then these books are for you. Timeshift and Between Two Worlds will definitely keep you entertained, right on down to the very last page. I can’t wait for book 3. Take a leap into the Beta Light and see what I mean.”
SCIENCE FICTION WORLD“Timeshift is entertaining ... and definitely not bad for the first work of an author. It offers some very interesting new ideas, especially the idea of "Beta Light" which is what makes the novel worth reading for fans of entertaining scifi.”
XIANWORLDVIEW.COM“The scenes and characters [in Timeshift] just seem to flow right into your head and the whole thing makes as much sense as if you were living it right along with the characters.... I actually read it twice in the last six weeks and what I’ve read of the second book is even better.”
