26 Modern and Classic Science Fiction Stories - The Time Travel MEGAPACK ®

Time travel has always held my interest and excited me into thinking, What if..... These collection of stories will hold your interest and you will remember them for years afterwards. Some of the stories I somehow missed out on as a teenager and it was like reading them for the first time.

This is a good selection, definitely leaning toward stories from the 50s and 60s. I wouldn't call any of the stories brilliant or even great, but they are all fun.

I'm especially pleased by the presence of Philip Francis Nowlan's "Armageddon-2419 AD," the story that introduced Anthony "Buck" Rogers, and helped create space opera as a genre.

As usual, Megapacks offer great bang for the buck.

A fairly strong collection of time travel stories. I would say out of the collection, about 4-5 were really interesting, while most of the others were entertaining, but not memorable. However, you can't beat the price, and overall it was an enjoyable read.

... because 2nd time around I'd definitely skip it.

Overall I was quite disappointed. Some old (and very dated) classics, and the ones I hadn't seen ranged from B- to F as stories. No new or interesting twists on Time Travel and paradoxes. Boring. Mediocre.

I enjoyed the booik, even to include the horrible four paragraph "story jokes" that always ended in a terrible pun. I ran into some things I'd read before and found a couple of newer stories I really liked. All in all, a pretty good bang for the buck.

I loved the Time Travel megapack. The editors collected stories about time travel from authors crossing the entire history of science fiction. I was astounded by the variety of stories and characters. The one turn-off was one author who wrote only one and one-half page stories to back up some bad puns, but the rest were good reading and very thought-provoking.

Science fiction is my favorite genre, and time travel my favorite sub-genre. Consequently I was very excited to see The Time Travel Megapack available for only $0.99. I found all of the stories to be very unsatisfying. Many seem amateurish and totally forgettable. I found two (or was it just 1) stories that initially caught my interest but in each and every case, I found the ending to be totally unsatisfying.

In fact, that's the biggest problem with this collection, none of the endings were satisfying. Indeed, most appeared to be incomplete as if the author didn't know how to end and just stopped writing.

Very disappointed.

This collection of short stories is truly like the Curates egg. Good in parts. Some of the stories are interesting and clever and well written. Many are not interesting, and definitely not well written although the idea behind even some of these is I think, quite clever.

Just like with any compilation, some are better than others, but overall if you have a time travel itch that needs scratching this might do the trick. One thing that would have helped me to enjoy this book more would have been if the original publishing date were included at the beginning of each new story. When I read time travel books I would prefer to have that frame of reference. At the very end of the book there is a list of authors including birth date (and death date when applicable) which I wish I would have seen beforehand. I would advise readers to glance at that information before starting a new story.
