Time travel is big business in the 25th century. Artifacts from the
past are salvaged and people are extracted. Interestingly, the
entrepreneurial development of the recovery process leads to a
massive archaeological expansion on a scale that dwarfs The
Smithsonian and provides for colonial expansion across the galaxy.
Australia is the new Ellis Island. Written in the first person,
this is a PG-rated adventure story extolling the basic virtues,
like accountability, honor, integrity, and fidelity. What this work
lacks in titillation it makes up for in historical color like
Connie Willis, entrepreneurial development like Nathan Lowell, and
futuristic wonderment like Edgar Rice Burroughs. Most readers will
find this book acceptable for ages from teen to centurion and all
should be delighted to learn that the Dawes polyverse is not
apocalyptic. In fact Earth is reborn: millions of bison once again
roam the prairie and old-growth forests blanket the east coast. The
future is Utopian. NOTE to Librarians: LCN 2013902944. NOTE to
Parents: Although this story was written for adults, kids as young
as 11 have given it a thumb's up. All characters are adult. Some
secondhand action, good vs. evil scenario, suitable for YA: no sex,
no F-word, no smoking, no drugs, mild violence, PG-14 for adult
language. Strong emphasis on accountability, responsibility, honor,
trust, integrity, fidelity, loyalty, valor, etc. Hard and
speculative science, real history with famous real historical
figures in a dramatized far future adventurous plot. Think, John
Carter of Mars.
