About This Book

A down-on-his-luck volunteer agrees to operate an experimental time machine for an anxious scientist and is transported to a lush, prehistoric shoreline. Scenes alternate between the machine's laboratory preparations and the protagonist's bewildered, often comic encounters with primeval fauna and vegetation as he attempts cautious, innocuous experiments. Small, practical choices collide with theoretical warnings about causality, producing unforeseen consequences that probe questions of identity, responsibility, and the limits of scientific control while maintaining a satirical, humorous tone.
