Welcome to 2019! In honor of our continued traveling forward in time, the first book review of this brand-new year is all about time travel into the not-so-distant past. As always, full spoilers are expected here.
There is a certain allure about time travel, even though it is far from the most widespread literary genre. We all know the great classics: A Sound of Thunder, The Time Machine, Doctor Who, etc. But time travel, while infinitely interesting, is difficult to write about. The amount of research it requires into past events rivals that of any nonfiction. Yet, we are drawn to it. It is a way to experiment with “what if’s” and “maybes.” It is also the ultimate power fantasy. Go back in time, fix one event or stop another from happening, and you fix everything that is wrong with the world. Who would ever pass that up?
