rated 6/10 read to pass the time
This is an old book by a good author. Is it any good? Not bad.
It's solid old style science fiction. Shallow characters, unlikely actions, heaps of scientific guesswork. And that's what SF is all about.
Travel through time and explore our best guess of the past. Travel through space and explore wild imaginings of what could be out there. Putting flesh on the past and saying why not to imaginary alien planets. Stretching the imagination for adventurous entertainment. Solid -- straightforward -- science fiction.
The time travel includes a visit to Folsom people. These people were "discovered" by archaeologists in the 1930s... they would have been current science when the book was written... typical SF : adventures and exploration of the very latest in current science.
