Review Summaries
"Wally and Moira, major science fiction fans, find themselves in a dream situation--helping a traveler from the future avoid creating a paradox. Unfortunately for them, they discover that he is not a time traveler at all--after they have given them most of their money and money from the funds of the sci-fi convention they run. Of course, just because Paul (their con-man) isn't a time traveler doesn't mean that there aren't any time travelers among them . . ."
