Kurzbeschreibung

An exciting, fast-paced time-travel thriller from science fiction writer Graham Storrs.

In the year 2050, London is on the verge of destruction. A thrill-seeker calling himself Sniper is about to jump back in time to create a time paradox. It's called timesplashing. It is exciting, dangerous, and the people who do it love every moment. Best of all, it doesn't change a thing - except in the present. When the acausal backwash from the splash hits the present, all hell breaks loose. Make a big enough timesplash, far enough back, and it can devastate a whole city.

Once, timesplashing was an extreme sport and an excuse for a big party. Then Sniper took it too far. People started dying. Sandra and Jay are two people whose lives were shattered in a timesplash that went badly wrong in 2047. Now they are hunting the timesplashers - each in their own way - and if they don't find them, millions could die.

Hold on for a wild ride 20. Februar 2010
Von George Angus - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I downloaded this book after contacting the author on Twitter (One of the many reasons I love Twitter). From the very first scene, I knew this was going to be something special. The concept of a TimeSplash is incredibly creative and the author uses just the right amount of vivid description to put the reader right in the middle of the action.

The characters are active and robust. They are developed through story, as they should be. I found myself cheering for Sandra and Jay as they faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

In short, this book is a great read.

Great idea, fast paced book 28. Februar 2010
Von J.F.Penn - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The timesplash is a brilliant concept. Human bricks are lobbed back in time, the further they go, the bigger the mess - especially if the bad guys kill their own grandmas. The backwash is how the present is effected by the convolutions of time sorting itself out, and this can destroy cities if the lob is far enough. Sniper is an evil brick who wants to perform the greatest timesplash, essentially a time terrorist attack in London by assassinating Lenin before the becomes important. Can he be stopped in time?
Great book in terms of the fantastic timesplash idea and the pacing, although some of the characters were a bit stereotypical and 2 dimensional. Bad guys bad, good guys good, bad guys sadomasochists, good guys romantic... and I think the ending could have been a bit more open ended, leaving a potential sequel in the works.... but generally, a great fast read with some excellent ideas.

an original and fascinating take on time travel 13. Juli 2010
Von A.M. Harte - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
It started out as a game, something underground and edgy and `cool'. Then time travelling hit the mainstream and became the ultimate terrorist weapon. Scarred by their experiences with time travelling, Jay and Sandra are thrown together in what is to become the biggest manhunt in history: the search for Sniper, Sandra's ex-boyfriend and a notorious terrorist.

Set in the near-future, the novel is action-packed, full of political intrigue and a sprinkling of romance. Look out -- science fiction is far from dead!

TimeSplash is highly ambitious in its scope, and the key to its success is Storrs' intriguing take on time travel, which is integrated seamlessly into the storyline, avoiding the off-putting technicality of so much science fiction. In short: people can be `lobbed' back in time for short periods, only to be eventually yanked back to the present. While you're in the past, you cannot change the timeline -- well, not permanently. You can go back and kill your mother, creating a temporary paradox, but the timeline will smoothen out and return to its original state. The problem is, the mess caused by that paradox will follow you home and wreck destruction on the present. Add some time travelling addicts into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster.

Despite such a fascinating premise, TimeSplash is ultimately a very human tale about finding bravery through fear, and never giving up. Jay, Sandra, and the host of other (mostly European) characters are vividly portrayed: you cannot help but empathize with their plights, including when it comes to the villains. It certainly helps that the settings were so strongly evocative, particularly the scenes in London -- living in London myself, there was a pleasurable thrill in reading about places I have visited.

In sum, highly recommended for science fiction and thriller enthusiasts alike, and even those undecided.
