5.0

An utterly enthralling and riveting read. So it's science-fiction, but not as you know it. It is the story of three different men, all at different periods of time in history. There is time travel, and there are aliens. But there is also social commentary and an atypical anti-hero time agent in the shape of a gruff, middle-aged, balding Glaswegian with no morals. Chris Kelso has a very unique, very special style. I read this book in one very quick sitting, feeling the story first draw me in before its delicate fingers became gripping claws that just refused to let me go. I was enchanted by the stories and entranced by Kelso's prose. Above all else, I was entertained. More than an author whose career should be followed, Kelso is an author to be treasured.
