Blasphemous
I like Michael Dorn as an actor, but not as an author. This book is filled with extremely horrible and unnecessary profanity. You can't get to the storyline past this awful language. It is crude, offensive, and blasphemous. I do not recommend this book to anybody.

Cliffhangers...
Devouring the book in one day I found it an enjoyable read.Yes, there were plenty of inconsistent action, but there were some good twists to keep me on my toes.Being a Star Trek fan made me buy the book, but the storyitself kept me with it until I finished.

The action was good...and thesetup of the main character was very "renaissance" like with themilitary to academic background.Yes, I want to be like Tony.

The backof the book is a bit misleading and I was slightly confused, there arebooks with worse that I have read so I won't hold them accountable forit.

I'm now off to find the second book of the series...

A spectacular twisted view of a fairly common theme
Michael Dorn captures your attention early in this brilliant novel and doesn't let go until the last word of the last parragraph.The imagery is the best I've seen in pop Sci-Fi in years!I can honestly say that Ihaven't been this excited about a sci-fi novel since the first time I readRingworld.

Miller, the main character, is portrayed in a fashion thatallows you to actually think like him, almost anticipating how he willhandle each step of his convoluted trip.And, what a trip!The authorspropensity to twist and manipulate reality keeps you at the edge of yourseat the entire page-flipping, gut wrenching experience.

The lastpage, though tieing up most of the myriad tendrils of the story, createswhole new questions; leaving the reader thirsty for more of theintoxicating obserdeity of Millers grand trek.

This is a must read forany fan of the limits of imagination, and the excitement of classic Sci-fi. I can hardly wait for the sequel.

A man lost in time/space wanting to do the right thing
Michael Dorn has created an interesting black indiana jones named Tony Miller involved in some time/space adventures. But it looks like the book was written individually by the 3 authors and then put together but notvery cohesively. Maybe more will be explained in the next novel but thereader should not be as confused as the main character of the novel. I alsothink the 2 other authors should have had their names on the cover as wellas Dorn.

Not so good
The book description isn't really accurate . . . the main character HASN'T heard of this crazy island, he happens upon it by chance only after being forced to go there by some 'unknown alien' that is inhabiting his friend'sbody.

My biggest problem is that the main character doesn't act like anormal person would act in abnormal circumstances.His best friend's mindhas been taken over by some alien force and he never once stops to questionthe guy as to why he's acting so strange - instead thinking that he's beeninjured by a blow to the head.

I found the book to be full of cliche, notconsistent (as if a collaboration where different authors wrote variousscenes), and it didn't seem like it knew where it wanted to go.And thento end it with 'to be continued' really lost it for me.I don't think Ican read through another in the Time Blender series . . . ...
