I am at ~45% and it's pretty boring, is it getting any better later?

There's a bit of action from time to time but still too many descriptions where nothing happens for dozens of pages... Still, the story gets better if you can skim over the boring parts!(less)

Can this book be read as stand-alone? Or must one also read the sequel, From Time to Time, to conclude the story? Thanks in advance.

Bookslover I read it alone and it is a wonderful book on its own.

I listened to the audio book and maybe I missed something but, I am confused. How did Si keep his promise to Danziger at the end of the book? I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't finished it yet so I won't say more here. But I would like to discuss it with anyone who is interested.

The way to do this is to make sure that he (Danziger) is never born. Si went back and disrupted the chance meeting between Danziger's mother and father. Early on in the book, Danziger mentioned he would love to time travel back to 1882 himself but he knows that is the year that his parents had that chance meeting and he did not want to disrupt the events of the year. At this point in 1970, Danziger is an older man, and seems to be worn out by age and the gravity of the time travel project and the government take-over of it. Seems he asked Si to make sure it all goes away.(less)

Steve I got a better question - how was he able to identify where/when they met down to the exact second?

SPOILER!!! Jack Pickering survived the fire with the blue envelop. Why did Katie (Si's girlfriend from the present) say he killed himself? Her real granddad was killed in the fire I understand so why did Jake allegedly kill himself. Love the book but this part is bothering me.
