Here's what reviewers have to say about Marie DesJardin's first novel, For the Time Being: "High-spirited and inventive ... with a delightful cast of characters
and a plot that twists and turns. A fast, furious, and above all, fun read!" "Addictive doesn't begin to describe it... With a twist around
each corner, and spectacular 4th dimensional storyline development, I was
absolutely hooked. If you can get yourself a copy of this in book or audio
form, I personally guarantee, you with treasure it!" "Finally, a book that combines aliens, horrible clones, time machines
and Gilligan's Island. I turned every page."
"Definitely for those hard-core sci-fi lovers who enjoy a little humor
with their fantasies."
"Lighthearted ... with enough on the ball [to] attract role-players
and virtual-reality fans from outside the small-press audience." "On an unknown planet... more than 50 years into the future, what is
a gang of geniuses supposed to do? Easy answer: build a time machine. But
what they don't know is how desperately the aliens want the time machine
also. Or just how far they are willing to go to get it." "A cleverly written time travel/sci-fi novel. [If] non-stop sarcastic
wit and kibitzing characters intrigues you, this novel is a delight." "Not since War and Peace has the literary scene been visited
by such a ... well, no, that's probably exaggerating. In the grand tradition
of ... no, it isn't really traditional. The most heavily anticipated new
work of ...no. Tell you what: read a few pages. Try it; you'll like it."
