Excellent romp through time.

One of the reasons that Im a big fan of time travel stories is that each one has to take a hard look at free will, destiny, and predetermination. Timeshaft is no exception. These ideas are dealt a heavy hand in this story.  A leads to B, leads to C, is common in linear storytelling, but Bint shoehorns in steps G, and W for good measure.

The stories and timelines weave on each other, and there is some confusion, as with most stories in this genre, but by the end of the story it all makes sense. Timeshaft is an interesting romp through time, and Im eager to read more from Stewart Bint in the future. Easily a four-star read.

Made me feel like I travelled back in time. Not much in the way of sympathetic characters, but excellent dialogue, including surprising humor.

This is a clever, extremely funny, and at times zany book - a genre that I wouldn't normally pick to read as it involves time travel. The overall theme is  how odd circumstances and small details can determine the outcome of history -- did hemorrhoids cause Napoleon to lose at Waterloo? -- and the interconnected nature of events through time. The main character,Ned Henry,is a historian from Oxford in 2057. He is sent on a search for a piece of Victorian art that disappeared during World War II. The story is a wonderful escape from the current world's constant dose of bad news.

Excellent beginning, then a trip to the past to build the entire story so that in a round about way, you return to the present.  Very much enjoyed the full story.  Excellent character development.  All the characters fit the story.  Also a good ending.  Well written book over-all..

I enjoyed the charm of the momentary stories in time.  The travels and people Mr. Grand came across are remaniscent of old timey storytelling.

The realistic period descriptions really take you back in time.  Few editorial errors but did not affect reading too much.

This is a thoroughly delightful series and being an old history buff, it's a great part historically accurate.  You'll have a great time, if these things are up your particular alley.

I loved these characters, and their careful execution. Brought me back in time and kept me wanting to stay there!

This is a fast paced time travel novel going back to 57AD.  A mix of history, religion, romance.  Somewhat short on physics.  I doubt anyone could precisely pinpoint the whereabouts of Paul in 57AD .  However it was an enjoyable read that I would highly recommend to anyone who likes time travel novels.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I was happily engrossed in the book as it told a story of time travel in a way that made sense. Particularly with how present day characters don't clearly know / remember things in their present day memory because a time travel trip hasn't yet happened in the present to take actions in the past that make up that memory. Fun fun.

It was a good read. Very interesting to have a view of the history of that time. The characters came alive, which I enjoy. Kudos

After getting into it, I really enjoyed it.  It alternates between  now and many years previous.  It had a lot of history which is enjoyable.

The author has done an amazing job taking readers back in time. The author captures the past in a remarkable tale of adventure and combines the real history with the science fiction of time travel, or maybe traveling to the past may be science fact before we know it.

Excellent period pieces, that takes one back in time.  The story lines are excellent though somewhat gritty whoch could have been left out, the locations, music, costumes and actors are really excellent.
