Douglas E. Richards, Split Second

I had a somewhat mixed reaction to Douglas Richards' Split Second. On the one hand, the writing sometimes struck me as subpar, particularly because of some stilted dialogue. But that said, I really enjoyed the story, which continued to surprise me to the very end of the book. I'm not up on all the various ways the subject of time travel has been treated in fiction, but Richards' take on it seemed to me, at least, to be novel. Certainly the ramifications of time travel as it's envisioned in this book are interesting and even thought-provoking. I also liked the characters, even if their conversations sometimes seemed forced. In the end, I'll take story over dialogue: I'd definitely read another by the author.
