Splinter Effect: A Novel | Andrew Ludington

pick

I enjoyed this time travel sci-fi debut, and I look forward to further adventures with Rabbit Ward in the future.
This has a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe with our lead character being a treasure-hunting archaeologist with competition dogging his trail and a bit of possible romance thrown into the mix. There‘s also good historical world building and research that adds to flavoring the story with vivid imagery. I did (occasionally) have some🔻

robinb confusion grasping this particular alliteration of time travel specifics, but not enough to detract from the story as a whole. I also hoped for more in-depth exploration of Rabbit‘s character/past, but I‘ll assume since this is the start of his story, we‘ll get that as we go along. Well done, especially as a freshman effort. 4/5⭐️ #coverlove (edited) 8h

38/100 I love books like this, written in 1977, envisioning the world of 2000, but looking back from 2025 and seeing how off the author's vision came to be. Sadly, no hovercars or helio-jets for the police, no Universal Credit Cards to replace money, no instant purchases delivered to your home by vaccum tube. It's still a fun read, although too short for any character development. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫 #Read2025

CSeydel I mean … we kind of have instant purchases with Amazon same day delivery. (Imagine how cumbersome a network of vacuum tubes all over the country would be! 🤣) And ApplePay or Venmo are kind of like “universal credit cards” 11h

Ruthiella Still no flying cars! 😂 11h

Never posted my March stats - a low month because of family stuff (all fine, just busy!). But I've already read two books this month, so April is looking up! 😁

It seemed to last forever ( but shorter than January 🙏🏻) and it meant lots of books although none of them really from deep in my TBR 🤦🏻‍♀️
