One Way by Jeff Lane

Read February 2019.

Following on from 11/22/63, this is another time travel adventure.
It centres around the idea that some people can "dislocate" in time if they have suffered an emotional trauma that they are unable to move on from, and are desperate to go back in time and change.
In this case, a wife (Jenny) going back in time to save her husband (Barry) from being murdered.

I came across this book after chatting with the author, Jeff Lane, via Twitter. Jeff is self-published and asks that readers give him honest feedback about his books, so what I say below has already been passed on to him and I hope he finds it useful.

I really liked the concept of this book. The idea that you could "dislocate" in time, if you had experienced a tragedy that you were desperate to go back and change is an intriguing one. Lots of possibilities here.

I did have a niggling problem with the relationship between Barry and Jenny, though. I fel that their relationship needed more development. Why did Jenny love Barry so much when he behaves like a jerk?
Jenny also comes across as feeble and weak, even though she is the real the hero of the story. Someone who has the gumption to do what she does is not going to get hysterical and faint the first time danger is on the horizon.

Jeff Lane says he is considering writing a sequel to One Way. I hope he does.
