As technology advances mankind seems a button press away from wiping itself out. The shadowy organisation of WorldSave and their top operative, the enigmatic Ashday's Child, prevent catastrophe on a regular basis because they have access to the Timeshaft, which enables them to go to any point in time and stop events before they can cause disaster.

However, after a routine training mission hits problems, Ashday's Child must save not only himself and his companions but the fabric of time itself. With cause not necessarily occurring before effect, it may be that saving the future will heal the past.

Time travel has always been a fascination for science fiction writers as it opens up so many possibilities. Where most of these use time travel as a method of getting their characters to where they need to be, in Timeshaft it is the time travel itself that provides the story. Bint allows his imagination to construct future and past versions of earth but always the time travel aspect is to the fore, with the plot carefully constructed like a clock so that in the end all the parts fit together perfectly.

This matters because the time travel in Timeshaft is one where the time travel has always taken place; it is not like Back to the Future where Marty's antics in the past then change the future; here the future is the way it is precisely because someone has travelled back in time and changed something. It's a tricky thing to pull off yet Bint seemingly does this with ease.

If you are looking for a good science fiction story with drama and great ideas, you can't go far wrong

So much fun!
This show is a great anthology of animated shorts looking at science fiction in the future. Some of these shorts are beautifully done and so much fun. I really hope they make a 2nd season of this.
  
This book was very good. I really enjoyed this book. The characters caught me and held me in suspense. The plot made me want more. I am very glad I read this book and hope to read more from this author in the future.

Love this introduction of Captain America, feel it really highlights the characters main attributes which provides the grounding for future films. Bucky and Peggy's characters are great.

I like the bad guy and find he is a worthy adversary.
