Tunnel Through Time by Lester Del Rey It sounds like Tunnel Through Time by Lester Del Rey. It’s no longer in print, but used copies are generally pretty easy to find; it was quite popular in its day. If you like science fiction from that era (as I do), I recommend The Forgotten Door by Alexander Key.

And here’s a link to a list of other science fiction and fantasy books for children and young adults, many of which were written in the 1950s and 1960s; it’s taken from a panel that’s held at a science fiction convention in Boston. Sources: Reading and research .

Tunnel Through Time by Lester Del Ray. I remember reading it one particular winter, age 8. Years later I discovered it was by one of the masters of science fiction.

I can’t put my hands on the copy I found at a used-book store, but here’s what Reader’s Den has to say: Tunnel Through Time Posted by Paul Darcy Published in Paul’s Book Reviews, Science Fiction by Lester Del Rey, published in 1966. Time travel, the ultimate science fiction convention . .. Well, I think it is one of them at least.

And this short novel by Lester Del Rey is one such tale. And, I’m embarrassed to say, this is my first ever Lester Del Rey (written) story I’ve read. If you are in to science fiction then you will immediately recognize Del Rey as a publisher.So how was this short novel?

Well it’s a young boy’s adventure tale, but don’t expect anything quite so good as Heinlein. The protagonist’s father is a physicist, of course, and he has invented a time machine. The father’s good friend is a paleontologist, of course, so you see the setup right off.

And the situation does the job of getting them all to the past when the dinosaurs roamed the land. Yes, Tyrannosaurus Rex is there, of course. And I find it interesting that almost everything they encounter gets filled with lead from the rifles they took along or the .45s.

But hey, it’s a boy’s adventure tale and so you need to have gunplay, don’t you? As usual I’m not going to give away too much but I will say they need to step up through time due to an accident and therefore encounter several times from 80 million years in the past up to 10,000 years ago. Overall an entertaining tale, but nothing to go rushing out to find (if you still can).

Despite the trigger happy travelers, this novel was fun enough to keep you turning the pages.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
