This sequel to Time and Again wasn‘t as compelling as the original story was. This time around, Si, the same main character in the original, time-travels to 1912 New York City. Not on a whim, of course, although he has his own motives for doing so. It started out strong, but became weaker as I continued to read. I wonder if this would have been a stronger book if it had been written/published sooner after the original -- as it was, they were out about 20 years apart. This sequel to Time and Again was published 25 years after the original, and while it does have the same characters, it does not possess the same intensity and drive as the first book. Simon does time travel, and again meets with Rube. The purpose? To save the man who maybe could have stopped The Great War. But Rube also gives Si additional incentive. And if that isn’t interesting enough, why not add in the great ship, The Titanic? With all this going on, and with the wonderful characters developed in the first book, this sequel should have been a knockout, but alas, it is not. It bogs down in the middle, before it finally comes back to life at the very end. Real fans of first book will probably enjoy this one, too, but will likely be disappointed in its comparison to the first. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The New York Times Bestseller -- Jack Finney's long-awaited sequel to his classic illustrated novel Time and Again. Simon Morley, whose logic-defying trip to the New York City of the 1880s in Time and Again has enchanted readers for twenty-five years, embarks on another trip across the borders of time. This time Reuben Prien at the secret, government-sponsored Project wants Si to leave his home in the 1880s and visit New York in 1912. Si's mission: to protect a man who is traveling across the Atlantic with vital documents that could avert World War I. So one fateful day in 1912, Si finds himself aboard the world's most famous ship...the Titanic. No library descriptions found. |
