This is a really short story. The beginning, where the main character travels to Colorado Springs (in time!) to retrieve a customer who has overstayed her planned vacation at a Sanatorium (actually with the Place in Time Travel Agency) gives me tantalizingly interesting historical details about the sanatorium, Colorado of that time period, and a hint of the main character's dry humor and willingness to put herself in danger for the good of the time continuum. There's a brief interaction with Nikola Tesla that I wish had gone on longer and actually featured more verbal interaction, and then its done. This is a teaser for Nikel's longer novella, The Continuum, I think and it definitely does its job of making me want to learn more about what the main character gets up to! ( it ended a bit too soon for my taste)

A quick, easy read. Interesting, but nothing I'll remember a few months from now.
