{"product_id":"another-point-in-time-scott-robinson-9798877734777","title":"Another Point in Time: A Tour of Realms Dark and Wonderous","description":"When it comes to moving around in time, a great deal of the fun and delight is that there are so many different variations on the theme. Sometimes a machine - be it a glorified sleigh or a souped-up DeLorean - delivers us to some point in the past or the future. Sometimes it's a weird, hazy phenomenon that descends up on us and scoops us up; sometimes we just get hit on the head and wake up somewhen else. And I've always been thrilled by that wonderful range. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI've done some time travel tales myself at this point, enough to fill a book. I hope I've managed to make each one different, each deploying some new take on time travel and what it does and what it means: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- a team of time-traveling researchers crash-lands 77,000 years in the past, and become gods to the natives they encounter;\u003cbr\u003e- the apartment atop the Eiffel Tower becomes a way station for travelers from future centuries;\u003cbr\u003e- an archaeological team unearths a Cro-Magnon skeleton, 30,000 years old, with a cybernetic brain implant and a bionic arm;\u003cbr\u003e- a Manhattan antiques dealer's centuries-old shop was once a tavern, and after midnight he can hear voices emanating from the 1770s;\u003cbr\u003e- a pizza delivery boy discovers that he can return to a point in the recent past, allowing him to get rich quick;\u003cbr\u003e- a quirky middle-aged retiree finds a hole to the past in Mammoth Cave, and finds he prefers cavorting with dinosaurs to being around his wife;\u003cbr\u003e- a time-hopping wraith is condemned to roam an eternal stream of nights, jumping from one to the next, forced to take a life of his choosing in each... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e...and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThree of these - \"Skeleton 17\", \"Delivery Boy\", and \"Sisters\" - are new, written for this collection.\u003cbr\u003eThe others appeared in previous collections, including\u003ci\u003e Shadows of Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Quantum Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Madman's Almanac\u003c\/i\u003e.
