REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Summary:
The world is suffereing, too few resources vs too much population. The solutions offered are horrifying in their own right including mass annihilation. Professor Ohms has another idea. His solution is 1957 Texas. His greatest invention, the Time Door, stands ready for those ready to walk through. Would you take the step, 2057 to 1957 in one step, from a world with no elbow room to a wide open prairie with clean air and no overcrowding. Only thing is the door only opens one way. Once you are there, you’re there forever.

Why this book:
It’s price. Project Gutenberg is doing lots of free books under their auspices. And it’s about Texas...kinda.
Favorite Character:
Professor Ohms. He’s the absent minded, klutzy professor.
The cattle.
Favorite Scene:
The climax of the story and Ohms’ eureka moment.
Pacing:
Great pacing though in a story this short pace hardly matters.
Why isn’t there a screenplay?
There should be. That climax scene would make great cinema.
Casting call:
Would love to see Matthew McConaughey as Professor Ohms. Or maybe Matt Smith.
Last Page Sound:
HA! Love it.
Author Assessment:
Will definitely look at other stuff written by William F. Nolan
Editorial Assessment:
Wish someone would have talked him into doing this longform. Would make a great longer story.
Knee Jerk Reaction:
instant classic
Disposition of Book:
e-Book
