From the publisher
This is a remarkable story of filial love, obsession,
and astonishing achievement, all in the face of adversity
and wrapped up in the telling of a scientist's quest
to discover how to build a time machine. Mallett
lived in the shadow of his father's death when he was
10. His description of struggles with poverty, racism
and depression, coupled with his extreme drive to succeed
at building a time machine and so see his beloved father
again make for a remarkably touching and inspirational
book with appeal to the general memoirs market and to
those interested in Einstein, whose own work on space-time
formed the basis for Mallett's research, and science
fiction enthusiasts who will recognise Mallett's other
sources of inspiration, discussed as he explains the
progress of his life's work.
