"Intrigue, duplicity, parallel universes and alternate realities combine to make
this a novel that perhaps hits too close to home.
Thank you Mr. Deakins for a fun read!"

“Full of logistical details on how to deal with a threat from the past that can seriously ruin your day in the future.”

“Very compelling story! I had a hard time putting the book down this morning so that I could get a few other things taken care of! Very inventive!
My son and his family left last Sunday and my brother-in-law and his family left on Wednesday,
so I finally had the opportunity to start your book last night. I am only 50 pages in, but I’m REALLY ENJOYING it!
Your writing is very readable and the imagery works for me. I could hear the brakes on the big rig as Clark Gable tried to stop at the gate.
I am visual, so I pictured the ’76 Trans Am as red and Dr. Dubois’ Citroen as black."
Suzanne M.
“I have finished reading the Time Pullers and want you to know how much I enjoyed reading it.
The book was full of surprises for me. Not just the plot and the character development,
but the originality and creativity that is evident. Also evident the amount of research you put into it.
Different languages, different cultures, the military – all show how much you had put into the writing of the book.
Interestingly I also found much in it that I saw as auto biographical – much of you is in the story.
I guess you write about what you know, and what you know is often yourself, so it comes out on paper.
I was lost in a lot of the science –I take it on faith that there is something in there but it was over my head.
Nevertheless, I found it an exemplary work and I want to congratulate you for achieving it.
But the final twist I never saw coming! Perfect! I guess you feel great pride at having completed it –
or at least you should be proud. So on behalf of me and my cousin Willa Silverberg here’s a salute to you!!!
(Author’s note: Willa Silverberg is a character from the book)"

"A great hard science fiction time travel book. Very intriguing and hard to put down.
The scientific theory explanations are what sets this book apart from other sci-fi books.
The detail of the time travel theories and the process leaves you convinced,
and you have to remind yourself that this is fiction. Interesting characters, suspenseful storyline.
If you enjoyed Contact, you will enjoy Time Pullers"

“Horton Deakins' novel, "Time Pullers" made the idea of time travel so believable, I kept finding myself excited by the possibility that we may experience
something like this in my lifetime. And it seems like a very timely book, what with the recent news that scientists have discovered particles that appear
to travel faster than the speed of light. Good science fiction often predicts the future. Makes you wonder how powerful our thoughts really are.
Time Pullers was a good read in terms of the character development and the story about the relationships between
the people involved in this special project to change history by traveling to the past and affecting key historical events. I really enjoyed the book on all levels.
Thank you, Mr. Deakins! "
