Unfortunately, most are frothy concoctions that leave the serious reader unsatisfied. This is all the more reason to celebrate the arrival of Time Travel and Warp Drives-a deeply informed, richly detailed yet immensely readable account of science at the frontiers, by two physicists who know the territory. In a wonderfully written and especially timely account, Allen Everett and Thomas Roman share with us what they've learned. Time Travel and Warp Drives deserves a place on the shelf between Greene's The Elegant Universe and Hawking's A Brief History of Time. -David Toomey, author of The New Time Travelers: A Journey to the Frontiers of Physics """In recent years, a number of books have taken on real science that sounds like science fiction.
