"I thoroughly enjoyed it-a terrific Time romp that takes a hefty mallet to the Butterfly Theory and leaves it splattered in the road. Really good read."
- Rob Grant, co-creator of the Red Dwarf television series

"Unwin seems to have had quite a lot of fun engineering the plot's Mobius strip twists and turns .... [The hero's] refreshing attitude helps wind the mainspring of an SF subgenre that's grown a bit lax from overuse.... If Michael Crichton's 1999 novel Timeline had starred as astringent a lead character as Joad, maybe its 2003 movie adaptation would have been better.... Original touches and a misanthropic protagonist keep this clever time-travel tale ticking along nicely."
- Kirkus Reviews
