Will I love The Technicolor Time Machine?

I loved everything about this book. I'm not much of a fan of time travel stories, but this one was very light and entertaining and gave me no headaches at all.

The plot was very clever and funny, and the story starts out quite logically with a plan that makes perfect sense, and as the story goes on, things start to go off the rails, resulting in a big, hilarious charade - after which everything ultimately works out for the best for everyone concerned.

This book really is one of my favorite favorites of all time.

I read this as a teenager and learned that history and science-fiction could be knock-about, silly and hilarious.

A failing film studio gets hold of a time machine and uses it to make a typical Hollywood movie about the Viking colonization of America, complete with gorgeous romantic leads, cast for their looks. It’s shot on location in the 10th Century, with real Viking extras.

But real Vikings aren’t cooperative. They don’t want to sail across the Atlantic.

The ingenious plot makes great use of Time. What if you return before you left and meet yourself? With a script needed… show more.
