Editorial Reviews

"A Man Beyond Time" by Rod Norville was a great read. Norville's book reads easily with a tone like the original giants of early science fiction. The scientist/hero of the story is much like some of Heinlein or Asimov's early characters with a tough get it done attitude inflected by deep scientific knowledge in a style that harkens back to the foundations of the genre.

I am a voracious reader; A friend gave me a copy of this book, A Man Beyond Time; it is outstanding. I picked it up last night and am nearly finished with it. Great story; the writing style is tight with few wasted words. The pace is consistent. Norville builds tension and suspense like a master writer.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the scientific content interesting and entertaining. Hearing about a new concept that seems both possible and intriguing was very satisfying. The suspense filled pace of this book moved quickly with many entertaining plot twists. The characters Mr. Norville created were probably what I liked the most about this book. They were engaging and kept you involved.

Quantum physics is some strange and powerful stuff. "A Man Beyond Time" is a work of hard science fiction as Dr. Philips, in hoping to work to make to make Astral Projection a scientific reality for espionage purposes, ends up breaking the time stream and creating his own time machine. Written for fans of speculative science talk, "A Man Beyond Time" is a fine read that'll give many readers something to think of.

Midwest Book Review - Book Reviewer

The book is a quick read dealing with complex issues. In addition to his scientific knowledge, Norville's careful historical research of the Riverside communuity in 1950's and 1960's Southern California literally made this sci-fi work as thoroughly grounded in the past as it soared into the future. Norville knows his material. He knows how to write. I cannot recall reading a finer work of science fiction in a decade.
