The last person you�d expect to take on the role of time travel pioneer is Marshall, who is not your typical hero. Rail thin, six foot three, and not the least bit athletic, he�s hardly inconspicuous. Nonetheless swayed by the perks that come with working on a top secret new project, Marshall is nervous and insecure in his new role. But he�s far more concerned about the necessity of travelling through time naked than he is with the situational ethics of doing so. Mike Murphey�s Taking Time: A Tale of Physics, Lust, and Greed is part science fiction, part thriller, and part light comedy. The work treads the line between something more scientific, with discussions surrounding the theories and laws related to time travel, and almost slapstick humor, mostly derived from the characters appearing in front of each other naked.�
The characters are well developed; all thrown together into a strange environment early on in the book; tightly integrating their relationships and inner conflicts and allowing the reader to get to know them more. Sudden flashbacks dramatize the otherwise smooth narrative, while the explanations of the concept of time, of dark matter, and physics more broadly, eventually give way to the stark reality that the project Marshall has been hired to work on is being used by both governments and large corporations for their own ends.Ã?
Taking Time� is a fun book that blends lite versions of the science fiction, thriller, and comedy genres without fully embracing one.� You may find yourself chuckling in parts, and enjoying the entertaining twists and turns, if you�re able to suspend your disbelief for a few short hours. Taking Time kept me sufficiently entertained with its charm and humor.�
