waden34's review against another edition
2.0
I realize that this book was intended for younger readers, but it wasn't very good. First off, the whole premise of time travel was completely stupid. Saying that the uncertainty principle combined with the chaos effect of miniaturization can allow time travel is completely nonsensical.
The "experts" that Hunter brings with him were not very smart. Being thrown into an unknown world probably threw them off their game, but I imagine that most readers of this book would probably not make some of the dumb mistakes they do.
There was also way too much emphasis on the laws of robotics. Rather than make an interesting story, so much time is spent trying to explain why the robots can/can't do certain things. For me, this really took away from any enjoyment I could have gained for the book.
