So, are you wondering about that number at all?
Perhaps you are annoyed with seeing it all the time?
Well, if you want to know what it means, you will have to do just a bit of research. A little background information is in order here.
There once was a society that succeeded in developing time travel. Using it they learned that their world was going to be destroyed in the not too distant future. Their only option to save themselves was escape.
The story is told in the book "A Matter of Time", written by none other than our own JThomp2. I've have read the book and I find it thoroughly enjoyable with interesting twists and turns. It's a great book to 'escape' with. When you put it down, you find yourself wanting to read more - that's the sign of a good read! It`s a good value too - it costs less than a movie and lasts a lot longer.
Here's a quick summary: 'A Matter of Time' by Hugh Grayson (JThomp2)
The story starts with a long running secret project involving the discovery of time travel. During this project it is learned that the world is going to be destroyed in the not too distant future. Only a small number of people can be saved. 'A Matter of Time' tells the story of a man named Stell, who is one of these incredibly fortunate travelers. Not merely content with his own life being saved, he is appalled at some of the crimes committed in the future and decides to fix them. Using devilishly clever techniques, Stell meets with some success. Unfortunately things go terribly wrong.
In the story, an ancient tale, which we have all heard, is seen with a new vision. Also, things in our present time appear almost alien to Stell, yet we eventually perceive what these things are and that`s a lot of fun!
A lot of clever twists and turns keep the story fresh and interesting. It is a thoroughly good read.
This book will remain on my bookshelf to be read again. I recommend 'Matter of Time' to teens and adults alike. It is a good escape and an interesting story with some surprising twists that you won`t see coming.
You can get it at
CreateSpace or at
Amazon.com. (These links take you right to it).
I suggest you read about it at Amazon, but buy it from CreateSpace - they are owned by Amazon but report their stats directly to the authors.
Oh yeah - about that number... You'll have to read the book to find out!
Check it out!
