appears to be a work of World War 2 fiction. This book is a little bit on the beefy side, topping off at about 500 pages. The cover shows some propeller based bombers delivering their deadly cargo to the ground below. Also there appears to be another black and white photo down below of a domed building. In between there is a flat black background with a neat black high gloss Spirograph thing happening. The title is fairly downplayed and simple which is a good sign.
Upon further inspection this appears to be a book on time travel. Apparently about 50 years from now we somewhat perfect time travel and start sending historians back to the past to collect data. Normally history would be fixed, but apparently on this trip back to the times of World War 2 the machine starts to glitch and the historians are now able to interact with the past to some extent. Probably not a good thing since they appear to be stuck in London during the Blitz.
I started to read some random page and was immediately sucked into this story. I had no idea what was going on, but from what I could tell there was a writer struggling to make a deadline for an article (feels like what I am trying to do right now). Apparently this writer is mixed in with a group of tank busters where everyone is either sick or off base and it has come down to the writer and his friend to go blow up some tanks. The whole page was dedicated to him trying to talk his way out of blowing up tanks so he can write up a story about a tea party. Wow, I am sorry, but if it came down to blowing up tanks and writing up another review for the site. . . Shit is blowing up! This exchange had me just chuckling the whole time. This feels like it's going to be a really good read that I am looking forward to.
