"This is the only sci-fi work I have read so far that is not afraid to tackle head-on the complete paradox of time travel. As other reviewers have noted, Baxter channels H.G. Wells's voice and style perfectly at the same time as he reinterprets the notion of time travel from a late-twentieth-century perspective. If you liked H.G. Wells, you will love Baxter!"
"The book starts off where H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" lets off, with the Time Traveller's second voyage from Victorian England. It continues to develop Wells' themes of the future and nature of man, but entwines some more modern SF elements such as alternate timelines, quantum theory, and nanotechnology, with a hint of steam-punk thrown in for good measure. Not exactly heavy reading, but with enough philosophy to make it a step up from a beach read."
"I would have to say that this is the best time travel book I have ever read. It is the 100 year anniversary sequel to the H. G. Wells classic "The Time machine." It is even written in the same style as Wells. If you are familiar with the story, Wells never reveals the name of the main character, he just calls him "the time traveller." Baxter does the same. Except that this book is about four times longer than the original Wells short novel, and includes a variety of adventures in the wildly distant past and future. It Is The Best!!!"
