This is a pretty good time-travel story, reasonably well-thought-out as far as at least most of the implications, with a deeply romantic take on family--especially parenthood. The safest place to be is on the other side of the Grandfather Paradox. It meanders a bit--or at least seems to--through the middle, as it's working to set up at least some of the relationships and other stakes that become more relevant at the end: The cover copy implies something more like a chase novel, but really it's more like a novel of ratiocination--there's a puzzle to be solved, though not a murder mystery. The fact the denouement kicks off with something remarkably like something from a *Bill and Ted* movie is ... charming--seriously.
