A Great Reader Review of "A Glint In Time"

Bill Parker is a very blunt kind of guy. He pulls no punches. Here is what HE had to say in his Amazon.Com book review.

TIME PARADOX FOR TOM CLANCY,
By
W. Parker "Gunny1911" (ISLAMORADA, FLORIDA USA) - See all my reviews Author Frank Derfler's journey into science fiction manages to combine the paradox of time travel with the fast paced action of a Tom Clancy adventure novel. Melding the 1925 documented theoretical science of Satyedra Bose and Albert Einstein with successful physics experiments from U of Colorado (1995), Derfler brought a 'new dimension' to the science fiction genre of 'alternative histories'. Unlike many predecessors, this work explains the time travel paradox in an understandable manner while weaving the science in a fast paced action thriller reminiscent of Tom Clancy's early works. The science is solid and the adventure non-stop.

I'd Like to Tell You About My Book: A Glint in Time

Here is the premise: It is true that today, in university labs around the world, graduate students in physics are experimenting with freezing light and time. My one assumption beyond present fact in this book is that a technology is discovered allowing a small item to be sent back into time. All other laws of physics apply... the farther back in time the less accurate.. great power is needed.. significant heating is takes place.. So, if you could send a tiny hot object back into time, what COULD you do with it? What WOULD you do with it. And, if you were successful in changing something, how would you know?

Asteroids and the Earth

This New York Times ARTICLE talks about the potential for asteroid collisions. This topic was a part of my first novel, "A Glint in Time", and will play a major role in my second upcoming book.

"THE Earth is pockmarked with the evidence of ancient collisions — huge craters blasted into its surface by asteroids or comets. One such object, striking 65 million years ago in the Yucatán in Mexico, is believed by some experts to be linked to the demise of the dinosaurs.

For a decade, NASA has been busy trying to identify what else is headed this way, particularly those potential “civilization killers” of 1 kilometer (.62 miles) or more in diameter that have orbits coming within 30 million miles of the Earth’s — too close for comfort by space standards."
