The Crossroads of Space and Time: Tiberius Maximus Adventure by Charles Nickerson and Irene Jean Nickerson is an engaging blend of science fiction and adventure that introduces Tiberius Maxumus (Ti) and Babs embarking on a journey set against the backdrop of a galaxy fraught with intrigue and danger. Aboard the opulent spaceship Dream in the Night, the duo soon discovers that danger is closer than they imagined. Hunted by unseen enemies, Ti and Babs must navigate treacherous waters, all while racing against time to unearth an ancient artifact believed to unlock the fabled crossroads of space and time. As intrigue and peril intertwine on this thrilling voyage, alliances will be tested and secrets will be revealed in a celestial game where the stakes are nothing short of the future itself. Will Ti and Babs decode the mysteries of the past to secure the galaxy's fate, or will foes determined to stop them prevail?
Charles Nickerson and Irene Jean Nickerson have crafted a wonderful setting in the Aldrin System. This mysterious collection of planets, once inhabited by an ancient race, provides the focal point for much of the action. The authors skillfully integrate well-established science fiction elements—such as wormholes and ancient alien cultures—into an inventive narrative. The book opens with a sense of melancholy history as Captain Kalaalit of the Bearilian Frigate Wander discovers the Aldrin System and is struck by its geological upheavals and haunting ruins. This setup hints at unraveling layers of mystery. The narrative features explorations of advanced technology, like artificial wormholes, with nostalgic nods to classic sci-fi inspirations such as Star Trek. Characterization is stellar, and readers will enjoy the bond between Ti and Babs, who are depicted as capable and relatable characters. Their relationship, highlighted by humor and warmth, offers a grounding contrast to the high-stakes scenarios they face. The supporting cast, including a vivid array of ally and adversary groups from the Orion Pirates to the shadowy Mac-Ta Cult, is nuanced and well-developed. The Crossroads of Space and Time is a captivating science fiction novel that features relentless adventure and everything readers enjoy in space opera. Stunningly imagined and cleverly executed.
