Mysteries in Time is a love story wearing a Sci-Fi jacket. It’s about two Air Force academy grads who meet at the US Governments National Time Standards office. A boy meets girl story, the two also venture into the past as observers of historic events using top-secret technology. Their time travel aims to clear up historical controversies surrounding events such as “Who shot John Kennedy?”, “Did Hitler and Eva Braun escape?”, and “Who kidnapped and killed the granddaughter of a prominent government agency director?”. The thrilling ventures surrounding these travels took up much less verbiage than the love story.

Like all love stories, there was a steamy section to satiate literal voyeurs. Throw in universal good looks and a great supporting family and what’s there not to like about the book? Except that it’s fantasy; sometimes we as readers need an escape from life as it is.

This book should appeal to those who love feel-good stories but will be a disappointment to hardcore Sci-Fi readers. I’m one of them.… (mer)
