In a strange red-tiled building located in a different Columbia University in a very
different New York City, physicists have invented a time machine, capable of
sending the "personas" of people -- though not their actual bodies -- backwards and
forwards in time. A contempory studies student, obsessed on the Beatles early history
manages to get himself sent back in time, not knowing that there was no way to
come back. Also not knowing that someone else had gone back in time, and was determined
to change history.
This is the last of a three book series, chronicling the adventures of grad student
Jim Tiber, as he starts out on an incredible adventure. Jim's obsessive desire to discover
just what changed the early Beatles from a rough skiffle band into a music powerhouse,
first lands Jim into the body of Sir Gawain, a knight fighting alongside Arthur of Camelot at
the Battle of Mt. Badon in 534 AD. Somehow, with a slight change in history back at the time of
King Arthur, the entire history of the world would change. One that would lead to the end to
freedom and a horrible, twisted future. Another excellent read.
Rating: (out of 100) 86. The best of the three books. But was a fourth book planned?
