Why read it?
1 author picked The Chronocar as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This contemporary SF novel deals with a lot of the nitty-gritty, nuts-and-bolts aspect of time travel, as well as providing an intriguing story.

From Seth's list on time travel and the paradoxes that arise.
