Time Travel books you might love too

All of the books thatwe've covered so far, I've read some of them more than once, and I'd recommendevery one of them to science fiction readers, but especially if you like atime travel tale.

In particular, I love the two slum kids who are irreressably cheeky andmischievous and have an important role to play that resonates down the decadesand which I'll confess made me sobb like a baby as the second book All Clear cameto a close.

These books, which are really one novel in two parts, are bothrich in historical detail, bringing to life the terror and the camaraderie ofthe Blitz, whilst also exploring some bigger questions.

In this book, Moore paints a vivid picture of thisalternate 20th century, showing life in a diminished New York City and thebroader social and political consequences of the southern victory.

Doomsday Book is an engaging read, and I really like Kiverin as a character, andI enjoyed her experiences in the 14th century. And we eventually get a frontrow seat to the main event of that time period, the Black Death itself.

It's a timeless, no pun intended, powerful and thoughtprovokingread.

Tow is a gripping exploration of human endurance, cosmic phenomena andthe nature of time itself. I think striking a great balance between theamazing physics and the human factor aboard the ship.

And I really love this aspect of thebook. And it's that element that stayed with me a couple of years later. Itreally made me think and properly messed with my head.

The Forever War's most striking element is theeffect of relativistic time dilation. Although Mandela experiences each tourof duty as a few months due to the distances traveled at high speed,relativity ensures that decades pass on Earth between each deployment.

And actually, Iread it for the first time earlier this year, and I think for a book that's 130years old, it holds up remarkably well.

It's heavy on thescience. It is Gregory Benford after all, but I thought that he tackled thehuman aspects of the book pretty well, too.

Over50 years later up the line remains fresh and inventive and eventuallyentertaining. A time travel odyssey that blends paradox with a bit of history andlyrical storytelling and it's still one of my favorite Robert Silver books.
