This is the sequel to Finney's Time and Again. I liked Time and Again, but I really liked this sequel. For one thing, the first book took time to establish that time travel was possible and that Si Morley was a legit time traveler. In the sequel, we could get right into the action.
I liked the prologue: people remembered things differently, from recorded history and found things--such as newspapers and political buttons--that showed a different history. It reminded me of scenes from The Man in the High Castle showing a different outcome of WWII.
While Si originally is hesitant to go back in time with plans to change history (other than a personal request from the creator of the time travel project) he does agree to try to stop World War I and possibly save his own son Willie.
Si's travels include some time spent among vaudevillians and on the Titanic, before he returns to his adopted time of the 1880's and his wife and son.
