I'm a big fan of "time travel" books (The Time Machine), television shows (The Time Tunnel/Quantum Leap), and movies (Back to the Future, The Time Machine, Somewhere in Time, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) so when I came across Kim Howard Johnson's The Last of the Time Police: The Time Authority Book One, I was excited to see if there was any way to spin time travel in a story that would separate it from these classic works.Well, there is another way spin a story and Johnson is in a word, brilliant, with what he does in The Last of the Time Police. This is more than just a journey back in time and back to the future. There are more twists and turns in the plot than a Formula One race track which will keep you riveted from one chapter to the next. Johnson's witty, tongue-in-cheek prose shines through which might have you thinking Monty Python meets Thomas Pynchon with the allusions and historical asides. Of course, Johnson is no stranger to those lads from Monty Python, and in many ways, one might argue that this work pays homage to the work of John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and the late Graham Chapman.Read for yourself. This is a fun, action-packed, witty, and thoroughly enjoyable trip back in time.Bravo, Mr. Johnson!Jeffrey Miller,When A Hard Rain Falls
