This story was gripping from start to finish. It follows Woody, a University lecturer, and his (mis)adventures time-travelling when one of his graduate students requests he use her time-machine project so that she may have the approval required to monetise her invention.
The pace never drops. We see Woody flick back in time about half a century to his eighteen-year-old self, strong, fit and handsome, with his future wife just as youthful and captivating, waiting in the next room. And though the objective of his visit is reached, Woody returns to a present where catastrophic events resulted from this one change.
The story that follows is a page-turner whirlwind, with Woody trying to correct his mistake, but mostly, trying to do right by his wife, no matter what. This was something that I found particularly endearing, how even when his wife, at a certain point in his time-travelling past, caused devastating harm to him, resulting in decades of his suffering, even then he never held a harsh thought of her, and only loved her greatly.
Such a nice quick read.
