Barely any 'science' in here, mostly the word 'tachyons' is sprinkled around in the few parts talking about time travel itself, and not in an explanatory way. Some worries about changing history and then statements that history resists change, smooths out the wrinkles. Think H.G. Wells time travel, rather than, say, Stephen Baxter. Why there's an astronaut in a spacesuit on the cover is baffling - there's not a thing about space or space travel to be found anywhere in the book. I almost tossed the book away when one thread veered into a character consorting with Hitler (I'm sick to death of "SciFi" novels that resort to relying on Nazis as easy villains. Lazy! Cheap appeal to the fetid masses.) but I kept going; it didn't get worse and made sense over all. ( )
