Book Reviews of The Number of the Beast

Book Review: A new twist in time travel stories
Summary: 5 Stars

Where might you find yourself if there were three dimensions in time, just as there are three dimensions in space? And someone had built a machine capable of travelling amongst these multiverses and installed it in your car? Where would you go and what would you do if you were homeless because the bad guys were so desperate to prevent the use of this technology that they had nuked your house? And exactly who are the bad guys anyway? In search of some answers, and a new home, our heroes encounter all manner of strange, and strangely familiar, people and places.

With a guest appearance by every Heinlein fan's favourite character - Lazarus Long - this story is an lively romp through the universes accessible by just such a time machine. One of my favourite books, this is a must for any science fiction fan with a sense of adventure (and survival!).
