When Sheila Wilkerson, Marta Hamilton, and Marshall Grissom become the three primary Travelers assigned to explore time, their initial steps convince scientists that rather than journeying into the past of our planet, the laws of physics place them into the past of parallel universes. If business moguls and politicians can't manipulate our past for profit or political advantage, then the financial backers of the time travel program see all the research as pointless. Without the ability to alter our own past, the future of time research is in a precarious position. And when the Travelers are sent into a nearby universe to determine once and for all whether our past can be changed, Sheila, Marta, and Marshall must confront the ethics of their mission at a critical time when corporate scheming makes expendable anyone who threatens corporate interests. About Time is an exciting and bawdy novel exploring the conflict between pure science and the application of science for profit or politics. The sexual tension created when people in their libidinous prime are confined together on a secret base in the Arizona desert furnishes the psychological setting as young men and women go about the age-old task of finding their place in the universe, or in this case, several universes. A thrilling and funny story about the frontier of time travel, this captivating novel is the saga of theoretical physics, lust, and the questionable ethics of manipulating entire universes for the profit and amusement of one small planet. Rather than a complete flight of fancy, About Time takes a science-based approach to the subject of time travel. Inspired by the works of writers like Christopher Moore or Carl Hiaasen, author Michael Murphey applies a twisted sense of humor to this tale. Wonderfully suited for science fiction fans everywhere, this engrossing novel is a perfect crossover into the world of science fiction for fans of numerous genres. Filled with humor, physics, and the lust for sex, profit and power, this novel possesses a broad appeal that is sure to reach a multitude of fiction fans. Inspired by a life-long fascination with the concept of time travel as a second chance, Murphey draws on the mind-boggling possibilities raised by theoretical physics and quantum mechanics to frame his story. This account of time traveling pioneers is a thoughtful look into the clash between science and politics, complicated by raging libidos, and the mystery of multiple universes. A funny and exciting, new science fiction novel, this excellent story will mesmerize readers from the very beginning. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
