Brought together by a secret project designed to hide British targets from German radar, the two founded a love that could not be revealed. When the project went wrong, Tom and Ben vanished into nothingness, presumed dead. Their bodies were never found. <p/>Now the two are lost in time, hunting each other across decades, leaving clues in books of poetry and trying to make their desperate timelines overlap.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>With echoes of H. G. Wells's <i>The Time Machine</i> and replete with the inimitable scent of used bookstores, <i>Time Was</i> weaves an exquisite spell of love, war and quantum physics that is timeless in its appeal. A scientific romance in the most evocative sense of the word. --Nina Allan <p/>McDonald's gift for storytelling is on full display as he captures the emotional nuances of a decades-long love while exploring issues of military and scientific might and the state of the contemporary book industry. --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>IAN McDONALD was born in 1960 in Manchester, England, to an Irish mother and a Scottish father.
