However, it’s the humor that wins you over. It has its serious moments and is well-researched. But this book definitely fits that category in its own way. And, thinking back, I have to say that I’ve not really read a whole lot of humorous science fiction beyond the rare Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I recently found a science fiction magazine that was soliciting more humorous science fiction submissions. Doesn’t it look like an authentic painting of George Washington that you’ve somehow managed to never see before? The author says that one of his students drew the cover for him. In this case, you really can judge a book from its cover. I just finished up with one of these, Washington’s Providence, and it’s really something special. And group members wrote 3 of my all time favorite time travel books: Midnight’s Park, Beyond the Elastic Limit, and Washington’s Providence. One of our group members, Rysa, wrote the #7 top-selling Kindle book (which we had as a book of the month earlier in the year): Timebound. But what I’ve discovered is that there are far more interesting writers out there than what the mainstream publishers are pushing out. The first time that someone sent me their self-published book to read, I assumed it was going to be horrible. One of the advantages of being the founder and one of the moderators of a GoodReads group for Time Travel literature with almost 1200 members and being an avid book reviewer is that I often get free time travel books to read and review.
