Time Storm by Gordon R. Dickson is a very different take on time travel. 'Time storms' started to appear on earth - these were stationary or moving storm fronts. The moving storm fronts would change the time period of the areas they moved through - either to the future or the past. Most people didn't survive if they passed through a storm front (or it passed over them). The story follows the main character, Marc, and a mute girl and a leopard that he connects with, as they travel around the country looking for a solution.

I didn't really like the protagonist very much - he was quite self-absorbed and sexist - and there wasn't much substance to the female characters: a product of the time it was written (1977).

The ending was pretty bizarre - I felt like I was watching the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Kudos for interesting concepts, but not that great of a book. ( )

Great storytelling, great story. I wish I had my copy, but borrowing from the Open Library was nearly as good. I wasn't fond of reading it through their online interface, but I've worked out the kinks with downloading to my iPad and was able to get my next nostalgia entry (an early Andre Norton novel...) ( )

I really like the beginning of this book. I believe I read the openig as a chapter in an S-F magazine as a serial, and waiting for a decade for the novel. The ending is weak, and I was definitely disappointed in it when I finally got to the end of the novel. But the first two thirds are a wonderful post-apocalyptic ride. Dickson's best work. ( )

I read this book at school and loved it, I have been searching for it ever since and found it in my work library of all places. I can't wait to read it again. Its believable, it changed my view of patterns ever since. ( )

Another review describes,Time Storm as "my favourite novel'. I might have a different favourite but right now I can't think of it.
The concept of a modern, Renaissance-type man evolving to where he joins beings from right across the cosmos to control the time storms is believable . I just keep returning at least once a year to Dickson's story. How a mind could create so many worlds is beyond me. This is such a good tale with glorious characters and settings which range from stark to fabulous. Lord Valentine's Castle by Silverburg also takes me to such delicious places.-30- ( )

Dedication: to the librarians.

During the 1930s and 1940s anyone writing science fiction did so almost exclusively for magazines. Then in the early 1950s the magazine market began to die and paperback books took over. But the paperback were on the stand one week and gone the next. By the time an author's newest book came out his older books had disappeared.

As a result, during these later years, when the magazines were mostly gone and the paperback books were coming and going, there were only a few of us who could afford to be full-time writers of science fiction; and the fact this was possible at all was only because libraries continued to be the only real market for hardcover science fiction. The libraries alone bought science fiction books on a regular basis, archived them, and made them continuously available to readers; and in this way libraries kept both science fiction and those of us who wrote it, alive.

To libararians everywhere, therefore, this book -- the youngest of my literary children to see the light of day -- is dedicated.

The leopard -- I called him Sunday, after the day I found him -- almost never became annoyed with the girl, for all her hanging on to him.
