The Galactic Time Trap By John Stilwell Paperback 1522905545 9781522905547 The Galactic Time Trap A mysterious lander is found on the far side of the Moon containing a glass bottle with a message in it for humanity. A space station and teams of scientists are sent to the edge of the solar system, further than anyone had ever ventured before. After two generations, the object under study had faded from the popular imagination. If it was only a natural phenomenon then why the warning to bring lots of guns?When Carl Vandor signed up for the secret government project as a test pilot he had no clue what his real job would be. As the first time traveler he had only one problem. Determining the date when his spacecraft would time travel to was still a work in progress. At first all went well. Then a time jump leaves him desperately lost in time and space. As he and his AI autopilot, Ava struggle to find their way back home, they encounter mystery after mystery. What were the secrets Ava was hiding from him? What were the strange glowing objects that sometimes darted faster than light between 3C 999 and interstellar space? Who was trying to kill them? With each time leap, he comes closer to discovering a use for time travel that could never have imagined. While a middling interesting read listen in terms of ideas it does suffer from a Mary Sue feeling resulting in and eye rolling as the plot progresses and the author actually literally talks up his other writing in the text with such statements as I wonder why he wasn t popular comment from a character as the author s writing is clearly awesome He also ranks his work with other authors in the text with which he would like to compare but falls rather short of. The interaction between the male protagonist and female deuteragonist has a fair few issues It is understandable that her role and his role have some reasons for bits of this but it would have been so easy to make the wondering by both feel much less two dimensional as opposed to along the fairly blinkered lines it ended up Her man hey Not a convincing crutch or narrative ploy got old well quick but kept chipping away at my credulity. I write not to discourage the author.

Good ideas but the characterisation and structure falls short You can do better I can tell Good luck Paperback This book was fine I think there were some fun ideas but lots didn t seem to go anywhere The story head jumped between characters unexpectedly at times and things seemed to just happen. I enjoyed the time travel ideas that were explored though and the recursive loop of things intentionally improving designs But other ideas were just lost or dropped off and I think its a shame wasn t detailed Paperback An excellent different take on the problems of time travel How would it work if you could only do time travel by diving between a pair of rotating black holes And your vector determined the time distance This is the story of the first human to travel in time and his AI companion A well written story hard to put down Paperback Fun and interestingThis was a fun and interesting read The story was well done The characters well fleshed out Highly recommend this Paperback

. As to the work a solid 3 but to hopefully spur onwards There is promise here but it gets swallowed by pandering to some juvenile tropes and self congratulation[1]
