While it settles uncomfortably next to very serious and even tragic things, the story\u2019s humor is quite pronounced. \u2026 And it does an excellent job of creating an air of danger, and thus interest, due to the well-realized sense of actual traveling in (and perhaps getting lost in) time, as well as the criminal aspect and what they\u2019re doing to the people in the past and how those people might react. It\u2019s also a good vehicle to address issues all the way from existential bad faith to religion possibly being the amphetamine of the masses. <\/p><cite>Jason McGregor for <em>Tangent Online<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 My time portal novel is now on Amazon (print and ebook).
