Deep cynicism born of a lifetime of journalism did nothing to prepare Don for the reality he had to face or the choices he had to make.
Confronted with the unanswerable, he had to decide which reality could undo the harm done, and which would cost him all that he held dear.
Time Out intermingles crime with romance and Science Fiction. It confronts what we may perceive to be true with logic, and asks us to reconsider.

“Time Out” is a very readable book. It explores the **** phenomonen and offers a plausible explanation for these. The many sub-plots and twists keep you involved and guessing to the end.
(**** deleted, as it reveals a key element of the plot. PHW)
An easy to read mystery/sci-fi novel with enough twists and turns to keep you interested and guessing.
Certainly thought provoking, and lovely to read the creative fruits of a local!

What a great book! I read it through in one sitting. I literally couldn’t put it down.
The style of writing at the beginning put me in mind of Ruth Rendall but soon developed into a style all the author’s own, and very good it is.
The main characters – Don, Marion and Paul, were “real” and likeable and I could visualise them in my mind, which is very important to me when reading a novel.
The storyline was gripping and kept the momentum up till the last page.
(here a paragraph is omitted as it discusses details of the plot. PHW)
All in all I would like to congratulate the author on a fine novel, I just had to keep reading. With fast action and a tight plot containing some surprising twists, it’s a well written and thought provoking book.
An interesting book with a plot that keeps your attention even if wound around some unusual ideas. Who knows – perhaps they have some truth but we can’t remember!
Interesting reading about your books Pat….Now I’ll have to find some an see if they would be suitable for the students at ARAS!!
Cheers
