A well-crafted story, a bit long in my opinion, a rather startling theory. The time travel has inspired many writers, and this story, based on good physical extension, between "The Mysterious Island" and "The Reckless Voyageur" is interesting. Without having the qualities of a Jules Verne or Barjavel Somoza proposes nevertheless a well written novel with believable characters and suspense, including the beautiful scene of the final outcome ... A good read ... nothing more.
