DESCRIPTION:
"A one star" according to Ernest Dorsett. I really liked the previous three book in this series.This one was a struggle from cover to cover. I found it slow and very wordy. I just could not get into the time travel concept. There were too many loops. Too many things that drag the story out much more than it should have. If there is another book in this series I hope it follows along the lines of the first three books.This one was almost like it was written by a different author.. Ahh NO! I'll start off by saying that I really loved the first three books in the series, they were funny and exciting. I enjoyed the world Lex was living in and all the people that live there with him. Book Ahh NO! HG I'll start off by saying that I really loved the first three books in the series, they were funny and exciting. I enjoyed the world Lex was living in and all the people that live there with him. Book 4 was almost the exact opposite. There was very little humor in it and there were plot holes you were expected to ignore for the sake of the story. And well there's Ma. I love Ma but not so much in this one. I did however love Coal. The very very end of the story was ambiguous as to what happened. And if what happened happenedno. I haven't lost faith in . was almost the exact opposite.

Disappointing I really enjoyed the first three books in Joseph Lallo's Big Sigma series. The characters were very interesting, the plots engaging, and the pace fast - real page-turners. So I couldn't wait for this fourth story. I even preordered it so I could read it right away. But Temporal Contingency let me down. Perhaps Mr. Lallo overreached this time, or perhaps I was just jaded, but I found the writing very talky and the pace consequently much too slow. I did like what he did with Ma, the AI character, but the rest just left me cold. And the cover - really?
Some would consider the situation hopeless, but any good engineer knows if you can't find a solution, you have to change the problem. One could excuse him for not wanting to be embroiled in another insane adventure when he is so close to returning to his life's calling. Even with the skilled pilot on the team, the scope of the problem has grown so massive that it may be unsolvable in its current state. Karter Dee, a certified lunatic responsible for many of Lex's recent woes, has discovered a threat on an unprecedented scale. To give human society a chance at a future, Lex, Karter, and Ma will have to venture into the past.. Trevor "Lex" Alexander's life has been less than blessed. Now he's received the opportunity to finally return to the racing career that had been cut short by some poor decisions. Reluctance aside, Lex is the only man for the job. He and Ma, his AI caretaker, know their plan to solve the problem will take a special mixture of competence, improvisation, and disregard for personal safety. In the past year
