Great storytelling, great story. I wish I had my copy, but borrowing from the Open Library was nearly as good. I wasn't fond of reading it through their online interface, but I've worked out the kinks with downloading to my iPad and was able to get my next nostalgia entry (an early Andre Norton novel...) I really like the beginning of this book. I believe I read the openig as a chapter in an S-F magazine as a serial, and waiting for a decade for the novel. The ending is weak, and I was definitely disappointed in it when I finally got to the end of the novel. But the first two thirds are a wonderful post-apocalyptic ride. Dickson's best work. Another review describes,Time Storm as "my favourite novel'. I might have a different favourite but right now I can't think of it. The concept of a modern, Renaissance-type man evolving to where he joins beings from right across the cosmos to control the time storms is believable . I just keep returning at least once a year to Dickson's story. How a mind could create so many worlds is beyond me. This is such a good tale with glorious characters and settings which range from stark to fabulous. Lord Valentine's Castle by Silverburg also takes me to such delicious places.-30- geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I didn't really like the protagonist very much - he was quite self-absorbed and sexist - and there wasn't much substance to the female characters: a product of the time it was written (1977).
The ending was pretty bizarre - I felt like I was watching the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Kudos for interesting concepts, but not that great of a book. ( )
