    About this ebook

    Is it a love triangle if time travel is involved?

    Jeff Blue made important decisions every day—what clothes to wear, what to eat for breakfast, and what book to teach his high school English class. What he never expected was needing to make a choice between repairing his failing marriage in 1981 or start anew with J0—an unexpected and flawless copy of his wife in 2095.

      REVIEW: Creative concept for a plot. Intriguing twist on time travel. I got a little lost in the musical references but enjoyed the unique approach. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: Jeff Blue—the victim of a time-travel conspiracy—wakes up trapped in the year 2095. The only familiar face is J0; a robotic copy of the wife he left behind in 1981. But can she be trusted?J0 could be the only key to unlock Jeff’s journey home, but it will require her to do something against her programming—something human.During Jeff’s perilous journey through the future, he will have to discover the truth about J0’s origins and solve the mystery behind how he wound up in 2095 in order to uncover the reality of his own destiny. Armed with a one-way ticket to the moon, Jeff must race against the clock to seize what might be his last chance to return home to his time. A time without hover cars, Justice Computers, or TeleSkins—a time over one hundred years ago.
    • 4/5
      Not the best Science Fiction book on the planet, but Yours Truly, 2095 certainly had me thinking. The story follows Jeff who wakes up in 2095 after a conspiracy from the future. He has to learn to live in this new world, with all its changes of technology and the way of living with his android ‘wife’ Jo. While simultaneously learning about the conspiracy and fighting to find his way back to the 1980’s.Jeff is an interesting character, who takes his enforced time travel at lot calmer than I would! He is reasonably well-developed, but I would have liked to know more about who he really is. I wasn’t really able to connect with him as well as I would have liked. Henry however is not so well-developed, but still likeable, Jo, the android ‘wife’, is an interesting concept. I loved how her changes affected her behaviour, but they left a few to many questions for me.The plot is interesting to say the least, I’m not sure how believable it is; no greenery and only artificial plants? If that’s what’s to come, no thank you. Having said that, I loved the idea of the daily news tab thing, the flying cars and some of the other technical advances, but again believable? I don’t know, maybe. The story is well paced with some romance, intrigue and excitement which kept me hooked throughout.I think this is a great book for a Science Fiction fan, possibly a younger one. Enjoy.NB I received this book free for an honest review
    • 1/5
      Sigh. I really don't want to start this review with "ugh" but it's likely the best way to start.

      Some things to make known: I am a massive ELO fan. Massive. And I love love love their 1981 album Time. It's not their best, but it's a favourite of mine. And I've always been intrigued by the backing story that is somewhat discernible when listening to the full album.

      And, it should be stated that Paone doesn't, overall, do a horrible job of stitching together a story. That's not to say he does a wonderful job, but not a horrible. I guess the word I'm looking for here is "passable".

      First of all, the writing really has no zip to it. It's very much a plodding construction of this happened, then this happened, then this happened. There seems to be little or no effort to inject any form of suspense into the story beyond what Jeff Lynne already did 34 years ago on the album. Any inherent suspense comes from the fact that Jeff Blue has been shot ahead 114 years to 2095 and he wants to get back to try and repair his relationship with his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Julie.

      The rest of the novel feels as though the author contorted the story and dialogue simply so he could toss one more reference to ELO in there, be it a line of dialogue, a character name (he gets most of the band members of ELO in there), or a snatch of lyric. For example, It's either real / or it's a dream / There's nothing that is in-between turns into something like, "It's either real or it's a dream. There's nothing in between, right?"

      This happens through the entire book. He also tucks in or name-drops a bunch of other bands, such as Yes, Pink Floyd, and Genesis. In fact, he even has prostitutes offering "ummagumma" sex--that is, guaranteed disease-free sex.

      Which ends up setting up a paradoxical situation in the novel. Somebody uses the term "ummagumma"...and Jeff has already established that Pink Floyd exists in this fictional world (going so far as to have a character list off the final post-1981 albums for Jeff). Yet, when someone uses a word that is an actual Pink Floyd album title, he ignores it. Makes no reference to it.

      And what of ELO themselves? I essentially had to assume that this band did not exist, otherwise, poor old Jeff would be walking around endlessly wondering why the entire future was based on their songs. Drinks called "Nightrider" and "Summer and Lightning" and bars called "Sidewalk Dancer" (a reference from the song, From The End Of The World, etc.)

      And the science? Good lord, don't get me started. It's crap. It's not even logical crap, it's just crap.

      Finally, I gave up counting how many times the author used the same damn device: Jeff Blue, needing to give the reader a little backstory, goes into thinking mode. Once the reader has the information, then he snaps back to the here and now when whomever was with him states, "Jeff, are you listening to me?" or some such shit.

      Overall, I found myself as frustrated at this novel as I was with the abomination that was Kevin J. Anderson & Neil Peart's Clockwork Angels. When will authors realize that, if writing a story from an album, just write the damn story! The fact that it's based on an album of songs is reference enough, you don't need to shove that shit down our throats.

      Now, in case you were wondering if I actually went in expecting this novel to be the next Shakespeare or Dickens or hell, even the next Bradbury or Asimov, the answer is no. I didn't expect this to be a stellar read, but I didn't expect it to be quite this boring and bland. Musical references don't make up for crap writing.

      Bottom line: You'd better be an absolutely rabid ELO fan, and not so much a connoisseur of good storytelling. Ugh.
