In Time Lapse, by Lorrie Farrelly, Alex Morgan lost his wife Casey and gained his son Jack. After continuing his studies in Washington, D.C., Alex is a popular assistant professor, tucked away in the tiny office of an information technology professor on sabbatical.After Alex finds a strange device in the office, he is catapulted into an alternate universe. People live under the autocratic weight of the ruling regime, with pockets of freedom fighters defying their oppressors… and paying the price of brutal death.Lost in a world eerily similar to his own, yet radically different with the loss of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Alex meets Jessie, a freedom fighter. As he tries to find his way through the landmines of the strange world with Jessie’s help, Alex discovers the insane plot of a megalomaniac.Will Alex and Jessie be in time to save the world?This well-written and plotted book, with its believable characters, is an excellent science fiction novel with a wonderful love story. I highly recommend the book.
