review 1: With a nice combination of well-written hippie prose and tech time traveling science-fiction goodness, Mason sends us back to the 60s, to a time and space remembered both as a summer of love and a summer of strife.Dig this: it's 1967 in San Francisco; Summer of Love. Teenybopper Susan, new alias Starbright, runs away from her suburban Ohio home, seeking peace and love in The Haight-Ashbury. She crosses paths with a real cool cat, one young Chiron Cat's Eye in Draco, goes by Chi and hails from the way future. Sausalito, 2467. They share a pad with a soulful cosmic lady, Ruby, who owns her own shop, The Mystic Eye. Chi's mission? Midst the weed and patchouli swirl and confusion of the whole funky, trippy scene, find The Axis. Protect the Axis. Save his world. Far-out! I du... moreg this charming, heartfelt novel. Did I mention that all the chapter titles are named from sixties songs? So groovy. Peace. Love, Dove.
review 2: “Captures the moment perfectly and offers a tantalizing glimpse of its wonderful and terrible consequences.” San Francisco Chronicle“A fine novel packed with vivid detail, colorful characters, and genuine insight.” Washington Post Book World “Remarkable. . . .the intellect on display within these psychedelically packaged pages is clear-sighted, witty, and wise.” Locus“Mason has an astonishing gift. Her chief characters almost walk off the page. And the story is as significant as anyone could wish. This book will surely be on the prize ballots.” Analog“A priority purchase.” Library Journal"Brilliantly crafted. . . .An engrossing tale spun round a very clever concept." Katharine KerrA dazzling wild ride into a time when nothing was impossible. less

One of the best time-travel books I've ever read. Great info about San Francisco in 1967.

A clever and entertaining time travel story set in the heyday of The Sixties.
