I thought this was ok.  There were some interesting parts but I had some issues with the book.In this story the government had a time machine and so they sent some people back in time to change some things.  The rationale for what they did and didn't change seemed questionable.  In general the ways they employed time travel were not very circumspect in my opinion.Also the dialogue through a lot of the story was kind of strange.  The way most of the characters talked didn't seem normal or natural.As I was reading I was wondering if the author was ever going to get back to the scene that the story opened with.  After that opening scene the story jumped back (in time) to how time travel was discovered and then the story went from there.  It finally did get back to that opening scene (sort of) so in that regard the author didn't leave any loose ends.Despite my criticisms there were some good things about the story.  There was an amusing part concerning Carl Sagan and other interesting developments scattered throughout the story.  Also some of the mysterious things happening during the book were explained at the end.  So if you hang in there you may think this story is alright!
