Despite all the movies I’ve seen about it, I never thought about having to send yourself to the right SPACE as a part of time travel. Makes perfect sense though. With the earth traveling around the sun at 30 km/second, to travel back even 1 second to the spot you are sitting in now without accounting for where that spot is located in the invisible 3 dimensional grid of the universe, would be devastating. Once again FPW is the man, but my question is does anybody know any other awesome books about time travel. Older the better.
KRW Wrote:"Lightning" By Dean Koontz was really good. One of the better books he's written. IMO.

Lightning is probably #4 for me, but a really good book. I couldn't put it down (well except during mortar attacks...I read it last time I was in Iraq and remember one particular night when I was reading it in my hooch and a mortar came in and landed about 100-150 meters from my hooch)
KRW Wrote:Watchers will probably always be my favorite of Koontz. Lightning is number two, with a third place tie between Strangers and Cold fire. But I'm thinking they'd all be unreadable during mortar attacks.
