Time Tunnel isn't very good, and is uncharacteristic of Leinster's other books. Murray Leinster (real name William F. Jenkins) wrote other much better SF short stories & novels. He essentially created the "Sideways in Time" genre with a short of that same name. He also wrote the first SF stories about First Contact scenarios ("First Contact", naturally), and even those that hinted at something similar to the Internet ("A Logic Named Joe".)
I've also enjoyed re-reading many of his SF novels, including his Med Ship series of books, The Pirates of Zan, The Wailing Asteroid, etc. Baen Books recently reprinted a number of his story collections and may be a source for some free download edition.
Don't let your impressions about Murray be marred by this book, Bri.
