: The Technicolor Time Machine
Author: Harry Harrison
Wild book with a crazy premise: a struggingly film studio finances a scientist’s time machine project in order to go back in time to film a movie with real Vikings and have the film finished in four days. Unfortunately, the humor’s dated: a lot of the satiric jabs at Hollywood’s excesses fall hollow (and even worse, seem tame in today’s world). Still, it’s rather fun and interesting, and I love the concept of taking sci-fi and going a completely different direction.
