This is a pretty poor book. The plot has potential, but it was so poorly done by what seems to be the author alone, that I gave up about halfway through. If you need more information on how not to write in this genre, just read any one of these other excellent novels: John Wyndham's Time Machine (1959), Joseph Hellers' "Catch-22" (1952), Philip K Dick's "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" ( 1975), Robert Sheckley's "The Last Unicorn" (1974).
