"Tiny Time Machine" by John E. Stith
Just finished reading "Tiny Time Machine" by John E. Stith, released by Amazing Stories Selects.
Now as frequent readers of my reviews here on Facebook, Goodreads, and other social media platforms know, I always believe in being open, honest, and forthcoming when I have a connection to a writer, musician, and/or artist. Now, although we have never met in person, and to the best of my knowledge never exchanged emails, or met at a science-fiction convention - John E. Stith and I are friends here on Facebook.
Now I've always enjoyed John E. Stith's books and I always look forward to each new release. And having also lost my parents unexpectedly - though I have never been married, so I also never lost a spouse too - I do know and understand why there was a long time between his last novel and his most recent novel, "Pushback."
"Tiny Time Machine" is Stith's first novella for young adults, and if I'm remembering correctly, he first wrote it as an original screenplay before he wrote it as a novella.
Meg, who is angry with life and her father after the death of her mother, meets and is arrested alongside fellow eco-activist Josh, when they attempt to break into pest control company to sabotage the chemical production facility. Upon being released from police custody, Meg discovers that her father has been murdered and she and Josh have been framed for his murdered. But before he dies, Meg's father gives her a cell phone, which contains an app that allows it's users to travel back and forth in time.
Stith accurately predicts what happens when geo-engineering is attempted with no real thought given to the consequences - even if the intention is a good one.
A thoroughly enjoyable short novel. I'm looking forward to the promised two sequels.
Highly Recommended!
Five Stars!
