Product Description:
NOW IN PAPERBACK-FROM THE AUTHOR OF MARSBOUND
Grad- school dropout Matt Fuller is toiling as a lowly research assistant at MIT when he inadvertently creates a time machine. With a dead-end job and a girlfriend who left him for another man, Matt has nothing to lose in taking a time-machine trip himself—or so he thinks.

This book was a little different tha your avergae time travel novel. It's pace was fast at times and then slowed down. It never really slows down to the point of becoming boring but it was well written with technical details and some form of wanting you to know how this all happens.

So much so that I would like to see ... Read More

I agree with the reviews that praised the beginning of the book but lamented that the plot quickly deteriorated. I think Haldeman tried too hard to emulate Wells's The Time Machine by envisioning the far future. As with Wells's book, the speculation was rather uninteresting. The book, like its main character, ended up somewhat shallow and immature.

This is the first story I have read by Joe haldeman, and I will be looking for more. He brings up several fresh ideas on possible futures.
The Accidental Time Machine is one of those stories that you want to see how it ends, but at the same time you don't want it to end.
Highly recommend.

Mr. Haldeman has been writing since 1970, had his first book published in `72 and his breakthrough novel The Forever War published in `75. And in his hands The Accidental Time Machine, the story of Matt Fuller an average graduate student who is destined NOT to make a great breakthough discovery that ... Read More

The book at least stayed within the bounds of possibility. The hero finds himself the proud discoverer of a time machine with no reverse. It's a great start to a novel but the hero is more victim than take charge guy and you never know who or what the villian is.
