Five-star review of Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen
On the surface this is a story about time travel, but it’s really more about the travelers. Kin Stewart travels for the Temporal Corruption Bureau (TCB) as a field agent and is stranded in the San Francisco Bay area in the 1990s after a malfunction. He’s built a life for himself, and the metabolizers that agents use to allow safe time travel cause him to forget that he’s actually from the mid-22nd century. He marries and settles down with his wife Heather and their daughter Miranda until ‘rescuers’ come for him eighteen years too late. They return him to 2042 – and his fiancée Penny – where he’s been gone only weeks, but he can’t forget Heather and Miranda. The novel is well-written and each of the characters is developed.
