Not only that, it is possible to access those memories and so the Research Institute of Anthropology & Chronographic History (RIACH) is formed to investigate and compile a record. Obvious uses include straight historical research and crime solving. Unfortunately there is a big snag (only discovered rather late) – the timeline can be corrupted by recording the events displayed. This forms the basis of an extremely well written and well thought out story that I advise you to read. Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official.

A really great and refreshing science fiction book about time. Like what I tell my friends - this is a time travelling book without the actual time travelling! The plot was exemplified through the context and felt as real as any 'dystopian-esque' storyline! A really great and refreshing science fiction book about time.

What a trip that will get your mental gears trying to keep up with all the implications of messing with the past! Still the monster greed raises its ugly head.

Honest review in exchange for ARC. In the future, science has developed a method to examine objects and record their presence throughout time, but one young intern is about to discover a disturbing side of her research... Really well written debut novel. I love alternate universes and books set in the Pacific Northwest (esp Seattle) so this was a treat to read.

In the future, science has developed a method to examine objects and record their presence throughout time, but one young intern is about to discover a disturbing side of her research... Really well written debut novel. I love alternate universes and books set in the Pacific Northwest (esp Seattle) so this was a treat to read. The author uses a good mix of science and character development without falling back on excessive exposition (which is common in science fiction i find). The concept of chronography is different from anything else i've read and well thought out in the story. Her vision of futuristic Seattle is subtle and unique; i really appreciated how her future had good and bad in it without falling back on the overused dystopian model. There's definitely room for more stories in this universe. I'm left wondering what will happen with Dani's position at the institute and her relationship with Lexil?? I hope the author explores their relationship more fully in the next book. Reminds me a little of Minority Report and Jasper Fforde. I think it will appeal to many different readers as it has a good balance of conspiracy, science fiction, and character development. Would characterize it as genhet.

First, let me say I am a sci-fi addict. Anything science and technology related, and I am in. I was drawn in by the cover and the title. When I read they blurb, I knew I had to read this one. It did not disappoint. Science fiction at its best. Chronography is an amazing concept. Kim K. O'Hara goes into great detail explaining every aspect of the science involved (amazing writing).

I almost felt I was watching a movie. No, I felt I was watching a series on the Syfy channel because I saw the chapters as episodes and every time I stopped reading, I couldn't wait for the next episode to see what Dani was able to uncover, what of Jored. and yea or nay regarding Lexil. Yeah, my mind works like that. I'm really trying not to give any spoilers here. Just know it's an original concept, you'll feel you're involved in solving the mystery, the characters and their relationships draw you in, and she created a future society that it would be amazing to see.

Set in Seattle 200 years in the future, this book feature an intern at the Research Institute of Anthropology & Chronographic History (RIACH) who discovers a problem that changed the timestream. There's adventure, friendship, and a whiff of romance as she puzzles out the problem. The premise of being able to extract sensory impressions of past events from physical artifacts is clever, as are the plot twists that ensue. Although not labeled a YA book, I think this would be accessible to teens (ev Set in Seattle 200 years in the future, this book feature an intern at the Research Institute of Anthropology & Chronographic History (RIACH) who discovers a problem that changed the timestream.

The premise of being able to extract sensory impressions of past events from physical artifacts is clever, as are the plot twists that ensue. Although not labeled a YA book, I think this would be accessible to teens (even teens who are not reading adult books). The romance is very chaste. I might give this 3 stars, but I'm boosting it to 4 out of fondness for the author who was a close friend when I was a child (talk about time travel!). Sometimes I hate it that you can't write a review without committing to stars. And I don't like it that my giving a book 3 stars because it's not my favorite genre would lower its average rating and possibly deter some people from giving it a try.

Just when you think you've got this one - it tears off in another direction! A most excellent read filled with plot turns and twists of the most unexpected variety. You'll definitely want to find out where this story heads in the next book! Just when you think you've got this one - it tears off in another direction!

Despite my reservations about books that mess with time, this is a lovely read with a few lovable characters. The villain's a bit bland, but I think the sequel will flesh the villain out some. There's a nice sense of closure even though there's room for more. Dialogue's very good. Despite my reservations about books that mess with time, this is a lovely read with a few lovable characters.
