Synopsis
In one of the most unusual Time stories to be written in recent years, Brian Ball takes the reader on a journey through the universe and produces some of the most fascinating concepts to deal with the relativity of time, and space, look-ing for the focal point of time itself.
He blends science and fiction in an explosively imaginative form that whirls the reader into a vortex of excitement.
But perhaps the most disconcerting aspect of this novel is that the theories expounded by the author have been checked by a noted scientist and have been declared feasible.

The call to action: somewhere a disaster, a cataclysmic spanner smashed into the delicate re-creation of reality that was the twenty-ninth century form of leisure activity. The Frames. But righting the chaos of riot and murder left by the superbly sensuous girl - who happened to be an Executive's daughter - was only the beginning of Del's troubles. Inevitably the road led to the ancient intergalactic ship, to the eerie plunge into hyperspace in search of a chunk of writhing time somehow poised in thermodynamic equilibrium in its own strange universe: a piece of time left over from the ultimate experiment. The search for time itself.'
