The whole concept of time and time travel fascinates me and I have read a good many stories. This one stands out. It has a good satisfying story logically set out with good descriptions and details. The protagonists Yana and Robert were well fleshed out but I felt I knew Yana better than Robert. The book is not traditional Sci-Fi but there are plenty of futuristic gadgets. There is a love story running through the book; two lovers who are separated by time, culture and language. One of my tests for a good book is that I feel compelled to try to read it in one sitting as I did with this one. It is a page turner and I was loth to put it down when other duties intruded. I have only one caveat. I found the beginning of the book to be slow. The description in the first few pages of the girl dragging herself over dead leaves didn't exactly drag me into the story. Keep reading… it soon gets very exciting and if you are like me you'll be glad you read the book.
