The story is a sci-fi lover’s dream!
A guy that is over six-and-a-half feet tall, is rail thin, and wears shoes sized to fit a clown has trouble blending in. That is unfortunate for Marshall Grissom, who doesn’t want to stand out. He has no special skills and isn’t a genius, so it comes as a shock when Marshall is chosen to be among the pioneers in a time travel project. The job is top secret and involves lots of non-disclosure agreements along with an inflexible five year commitment. Despite the unlikelihood of being selected, Marshall, albeit reluctantly, embraces the job and even manages to make a couple of friends. These relationships are put to the test as Marshall realizes that greed is the true father of invention.
Reading a Mike Murphey book is like spending time with your favorite family dog—it’s always a dependable companion and good for a few laughs. No matter what topic Murphey writes about, his books are consistently compelling, and Taking Time is no exception. With dynamic characters and futuristic science, the story is a sci-fi lover’s dream! And just as the cover promises, there is just a little physics, a bit more lust, and a ton of greed to help round out this exciting novel. The pages are filled with manipulations and mysteries, but also a healthy dose of humor to keep the whole thing from taking itself too seriously. Taking Time is a slightly satirical and entirely entertaining twist on a time travel tale.
