Really enjoyed this one. I'm not sure if I really enjoy stories involving ships or if I have just happened to pick good ones so far. The time jumping was well done as far as I'm concerned, and the butterfly effect was heavily in play which a few other books did not utilize.

Deja vu and foggy memories of times that did not happen run rampant through this book. Epilepsy seizures is what the doctors have deemed it to be. I found this to be a clever way to have things set in motion throughout the book.

I was able to figure out what Joe's part in the main story was pretty early on, but I wasn't bothered at all because I was extremely interested to see how he had come to be in the time we meet him at. I felt happy at the end of this book which is why I tacked on the extra .5 star. I'll have to look into some of Pulley's other works.
