Review: An interesting take on the time travel theme in which the daily, on the ground implications for the characters are explored.

More like a 4.25.**SPOILER ALERT**So, the planets were aligned, just right, and you're a curious, recent geology grad who stepped into an old abandoned gold mine (shades of the recent film "John Carter," where the Civil War era Carter stepped into a cave full of gold deposits and was transported, instead, to Mars) and was somehow transported back to a time several months before Pearl Harbor.  Your clothes make you stand out, your cell phone is dead, your credit card's just a piece of plastic, and your money isn't any good either.  You see no way you can return to your time, and you just want to make the best of it, blend in, and try not to call attention to yourself.With no I.D. and no money how do you make a living?  What do you need to do to not betray your 21st century attitudes but to fit in?  What about the draft?Given your special knowledge, do you make an effort to contact the "authorities," and to try to convince them of what is about to happen? Do your warn people who have been kind to you and become your friends? What are the personal ethics here?Can your actions potentially change the course of history, the future in which you were born into and, thus, perhaps eliminate your chances of even being born in that future time? Is this paradox really valid?You've fallen in love, too, and possibly found a way to return back, alone, to your time.  What choices do you make?All questions very interestingly explored in this work.
