My only beef with this book was I wished it was longer (about 100 pages longer). It was a very fast read.. party because I didn't want to put it down. Characters are well developed (if a little stereotyped) and the story is different than you're typical PA book (although it reminded me of Orson Wells "The Time Machine" a bit). Very enjoyable book if you're a fan of Sci-Fi and especially PA.
from the back cover:
Strapped into a Temporal Displement Vehicle in 1978, Brian Chaney begins a top-secret mission to the future. He leaves behind a familiar, safe world and a woman whom he knows he could love. Arriving in the 21st century he finds a devastated world, scarred by nuclear war, with only a few survivors haunting the landscape. Intead of reporting back to his home era on the terrifying new millenniu, Chaney stays, confronting the tortured planet that his age has helped to create.
The Year of the Quiet Sun is a bittersweet, poignant tale of apocalypse and survival, told from within the ruins of a deaying civilization.
