Sean Brody is an individual who avoids
taking risks and goes with the safest option at every turbulent phase in his
life. This has become one of his biggest regrets as he approaches the end of
his life. At 93 years old in the year 2046, he is presented with a chance to
change that. Marshall Grissom and Marta Hamilton, members of the Global Research
Consortium, find Sean to be the only man who can assist them in rescuing their
fellow and friend, Sheila Schuler, who is trapped in the distant reaches of
time. As Sean ponders over whether or not to accept the task, he has to accept
death in his present life and embrace an alternate reality altogether.
Killing
Time: Physics, Lust and Greed is the third book in
the series by Mike Murphey and a compelling science-fiction tale that portrays
time travel as a reality, but it gives a more profound message about life as
well. With the protagonist growing up without any regrets in his own life, the
reality of not having any regrets becomes his biggest one yet. It delivers a
powerful undertone about making sure that you take risks in life to keep
yourself from reaching the end with a hollowness in your mind and heart.
The book is carefully crafted and balanced,
featuring intrigue at every turn. It is stylistic and it presents characters
that are not just multi-dimensional but utterly realistic. The author injects humor
and humanity into the story in a manner that is intelligent and captivating.
The ability to go back in the past and alter numerous realities about our life
is a fantasy each of us harbors, but understanding how these changes will
impact the course of life overall remains a mystery. The author makes sure not
to spend much time describing the science and details behind time travel and
focuses more on the plot as well as character development, ultimately creating
a mesmerizing tale that sparks interest from beginning to end.
