Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Dan Davis is an extraordinarily gifted engineer. His inventions are groundbreaking. But one day he finds himself cheated out of business by his partner and his fiancé. Things escalate and in the end Dan awakens 30 years later in the future, well preserved and not a day older, after being forced into "cold sleep". Things are a bit different in the year 2000 than they were back in 1970 and sure engineering has progressed a lot. Some patents, however, which have been applied for in his name while he certainly was frozen and sleeping, are disturbing him. An when he learns there is a classified way to not only travel forward in time, but also backward, he sets out to fix some things which have happened in the past...
The book is not only interesting to read; having read it in 2014, it was also interesting to see what an author thought life and technical achievements would be like in 1970 and 2000 - thought so back when the book was written in the 1950-ies!
