dennis miles,
Reminds me of ChritenSingle shot sci fi story that could easily become a movie。 As always, well laid out and written。 Should make people very interested in the Yoder family。

Michael’s wife is worried that anything the government touches will most likely be a bad thing。 But Michael needs the job to earn a living for them。 DARPA doesn’t want anything or anybody to interfere with the Michael’s experiments and will do just about anything to make that happen。 While working in his lab Michael is interrupted by his local police。 There has been a situation at his home。 His wife and child are missing presumed kidnapped。 Alicia, a student at Princeton, has a dream during class that shows her in the future。 A future where one can be arrested before a crime is yet to be committed and somehow she is in part responsible。 What just happened? She needs to talk to Michael and warn him of the future to come。 How is she going to convince him? Help is on the way by means of a group interested in stopping what is to come。 Can Alicia and Michael change the future? Is there a multiverse and is it true that “for each possible change in decision, a different universe exits?” Will changing the present ensure a brighter future? I must admit that the first third of this story was a bit to techie/science for me。 I am glad that I stuck it out。 The story concept was well worth it。 The characters added depth to the story as well as keeping the story exciting and entertaining。 I recommend this book to anyone interested in science fact and science fiction。 。。。more
