A historical science fiction love and war story
Product Details
One man, two women. Two love stories that defy both time and space. That’s Eugene Alston’s fiction-based-on-fact novel “Time Traveler.” Ethan is a 21st century man with a high level of authority in telephone systems in the Southeast. Bess is a 21st century charismatic beauty queen. Elizabeth is an 1861 equally beautiful businesswoman. Bess believes she belongs in the 19th century. Ethan resists when she finds a portal in a Georgia hotel that leads to an 1861 plantation in rural Georgia. After his early resistance, Ethan realizes his love for Bess is so strong that he doesn’t want to live without her, so he agrees to travel to the past. Bess is both the catalyst for the time travel and the driving force behind Ethan’s success in the latter part of the 19th century. Although he clearly loves Elizabeth, his love for Bess is the primary force of his life, as it is Elizabeth’s life. Mr. Alston gives us well-researched insight into battles of what historians call “The Civil War,” but which we Southerners call "The War Between the States.” He also gives us a detailed view of plantation life leading to and during the chaos of war, then antebellum life, warts and all, in the final decades of the 19th century. Eugene Alston is a prolific writer, including the ten-volume Hammer Spade adventure series. “Time Traveler” gives us a depth of characterization and plot that surpasses his previous work. If there were more than five stars, I would recommend “Time Traveler” to the nth degree
