Product Description

Review

" ... an ending that delights ... a cracking time travel yarn." -- Albedo One

Chris Butler delivers a charming timeslip romance ... the recipe is complete for suspense. -- Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, December 2002

From the Back Cover

Kate Chapman lives alone now, the life she expected to live cruelly snatched away from her. When a stranger crashes into her life she thinks perhaps she might start to live again. But the stranger is more than he seems. He is displaced in time, manipulating forces he believes he can control. He knows that he is falling in love with her. But Kate, and those she loves the most, are in danger. And time is running out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent time-travel sci-fi mixed with classic love plot 4 Sep 2002
By "windsurfing-chap"
Format:Paperback
After a slightly slow start, somewhat reminiscent of old sci-fi paperbacks mainly by America authors, this book really picks up and draws the reader into an interesting triangle of love, time-travel and law authority investigation.

Whilst many of the time-travel paradoxes have been explored before, this work brings several of them together well - but without making them the focus of the story. Good reading but not too 'hard-core' sci-fi, in my opinion.

Overall the plot is fairly predictable, but new information is introduced throughout the story and I certainly didn't anticipate the ending. About halfway through the book I had difficulty putting it down! (Perhaps surprising considering this is the first book by Chris Butler)

I would definitely read another book by Chris Butler and look forward to his next.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully touching story of human emotion 4 Jan 2002
By Mrs Groan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Shorter than your average novel, Any Time Now does not disappoint despite its slender size. The male author writes from a woman's point of view with rare insight and caps this off with warm and believable characters all the way through.
With time travel a central feature of the story this book could easily have become bogged down with technical details but this does not happen and the human element remains very much at the centre of the tale all the time.
There are some nice touches of humour, which counterpoint the moments that make you sad or just make you sigh in sympathy. Every now and then a sparkling piece of prose causes you to stop, re-read just for the joy of it, and bring to mind truly beautiful images.
Although perhaps the 'bad guys' could be construed as a little stereotypical this does not detract from the story and the end of the tale leaves you feeling glad and happy that you made the journey.
