TIME BOMBER | Review by Richard Peacocke

Dr. Robert Wack with
his book, Time Bomber

Richard Peacocke of Ottawa, Canada had some nice words to say about Robert Wack's Time Bomber (Boissevain Books, 2014).

He posted a 5-star rating on the Amazon listing of the book and had the following to say about the book, which he writes that he tried to post but may not have succeeded:

Gripping narrative of warfare and moral choice, underpinned by a far-reaching mathematical theory about space and time. 

Highlights for me are the authentic scenes in the RAF squadron and gripping episodes in the fields of Normandy. The book weaves together the history of several places and time periods, with inspiration drawn from the real-life Dr. Willem van Stockum. 

There is a great deal of action, but while there is bravery and cowardice, there is little or no glory. The character studies and human experience in wartime ring true. 

All the way through the reader has an uneasy feeling that something unknown and mysterious is occurring. This is based on a soaring mathematical theory, the intricacy of which is touched on, but not laboured over. The theory is based on Dr. van Stockum’s work and allows the protagonist to bridge fiction and reality. I couldn’t put the book down.

Thank you, Dick Peacocke, for sending this along.
