Today I am reviewing The Time Rift by Liwen Y Ho and David H Ho. This book has been out for a few years but I only found it recently. I won the choice of a Liwen Y Ho book and the reason I choose this book is I wanted different.
The Time Rift by Liwen Y Ho and David H Ho
Renowned physicist Lance Everett has two great passions: donuts and time travel. The only thing that rivals them is Juliet Bradley, the redheaded beauty who captured his heart at a college football game. After reconnecting with her a decade later, Lance can’t imagine his life being more complete. Even without a time machine, he foresees a happy marriage and a breakthrough in his scientific pursuits. Until the unthinkable happens. Now Lance is left searching for answers and questioning what he values the most. A chance encounter with a mysterious man offers him some unexpected solace, as well as the opportunity of a lifetime. But the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. Will he risk it all to gain back what he lost, even if the consequences can never be reversed?
My review
The reason I choose this book was the blurb. It sounded interesting and I do like Sci Fi. I am a huge Stargate SG1 and Atlantis fan. The book starts with Lance meeting Juliet and falling for her. The first few chapters are mainly their story, how they meet and what happens in the next 10 years. We learn that Lance is a Physics Professor majoring in Quantum Physics. He is interested in time travel. When Lance talks about time travel and the theory behind it I could actually understand what he was saying.
The book does take a turn when as the blurb says the unthinkable happens. Lance is offered the chance to put his research into action. This is where the things become interesting and we see intrigue happening. To know more you will need to read the book.
I will say I found I just wanted to keep reading. There are turns I didn’t expect and could feel the tension. There is a little romance in the book but mostly it is intrigue and suspense and sci fi. Although is it. I was left wondering could this happen or has it happened. Would we ever know? For any Sci-fi or time travel fans I am sure you would enjoy this book.
