Part Quantum Leap and part John Varley's novel Millenium, Stembers' Twilight is a fun, taut time-travel story.
Air Force pilot Major Fletcher Taylor finds himself whisked away by a beautiful woman who materializes in the cockpit of his fighter jet seconds before his death. Soon he's the newest recruit as a skimmer (one who rights wrongs of the past, ala Sam Beckett with supercomputer in charge, but without help Al or Ziggy), docked at Twilight, a sort of a space station docked in nowhen, but built in the 24th century.
Complete with love story, the ubiquitous time-travel paradoxes, and plenty of action, this story is a light and quick read, and I couldn't put it down. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for anything else this talented author writes!
