Thanks to the author for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.
What if we knew everything or anything about our future? We would certainly try to alter and reconstruct it the way we want.
This short story has been compared to Twilight Zone a lot but I have never watched it or didn't even know it existed. I'm a lover of sci-fi books and I haven't read many of the books about time-travel but I have always been fascinated by the idea so when the author approached me to read his story, I couldn't refuse.
The story starts when Leroy Jenkins meets a man in his field who has appeared out of nowhere. According to him, he's a time traveler and is accidently transported to a wrong place at a wrong time. He knows everything that's going to happen in the future and he hands over the task of preventing all those events - including World Wars, the assassination of President Kennedy - from happening to Leroy.
This story has a lot of American History. Half of which I was already familiar with but I didn't know the exact history - I'm not an American. Anyway, it doesn't really matter if you're an American or not because you'll understand everything easily.
This story consists of 31 pages and it took me less than half an hour to finish it. I love how the author has captured everything so perfectly in only 30 pages. I was really surprised the way the author has penned the whole story in only 30 pages. The pace was moderate and the writing praise-worthy. I'm glad that I got the chance to read this book because I enjoyed immensely and I recommend it to everyone especially the fans of sci-fi and time travel books.
