Our view
“For a Limited Time Only” is a clever, moving time-travel story that turns a dull office job into something deeply personal. Peng Shepherd’s Russ, a contented husband and father, commutes through the decades for a marketing firm, stuck in its near-past division and refused every transfer. A discovery about his own timeline gives the premise its emotional charge. Science fiction readers who want ideas with a human sting should seek it out.

About the book
Russ commutes to work—not across town but through time. An ambitious employee stuck in Oracle Marketing Solutions’ mundane “near past” division, he longs for the excitement of ancient eras and distant futures. But Oracle’s secretive management has refused every one of his transfer requests, and Russ can’t understand why…until he makes a devastating discovery about his own timeline.
