A MATTER OF TIME by Glen Cook
Ace, 1985, $2.95.
A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper
The still-warm body of a man who died fifty years ago is the first clue
in this mystery of agents from the future trying to preserve the past to
insure the continued existence of their future. While Detective Cash tries
to solve that mystery, his son is being brain-washed by the Chinese
Communists to carry out a very important mission. If it sounds like THE
TERMINATOR meets THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE to you, well, you're not far off.
Nothing great or earth-shaking here, but a good read, especially for those
who like mysteries or spy adventures. (I bought it as an alternate history,
which it isn't really, but it has the thread of time paradox running through
it if that's your thing.)
