How far will you go to make things right? Ruminate on that as we explore this unusual sci-fi tale.

Two unlikely but brilliant fellows become partners with almost the same goal. When arrogance and over-excitement come into play, the result is a deadly mistake. Walter, the lead character, must battle his nature, the limitations of the world he finds himself in, and the opposition of an unknown enemy. He has his reasons for fighting this battle. When things become clearer, he has to race against time to fix things before it becomes too late.

For a Better Yesterday by Matthew L. Martin is an engaging and intriguing story that weaves fiction with science. I loved the writing of this story. It was written with a lot of dialogue. However, the dialogue did not detract from the author's ability to convey emotion. I was fully present in the story and was carried along with the flow.

The book started at a steady pace, picked up pace as it moved, and then sped up very rapidly toward the end. This story completely absorbed my mind, and I found myself turning the pages at a very rapid pace as the story raced toward its climax.

The scientific aspect of the book was clearly explained, and I understood the gist of what the characters were attempting to achieve. The language was not overly technical, and as far as I could see, the events were not grounded in fantasy or impossibility. The concepts were clearly explained, and the world the characters inhabited felt realistic — a place that could easily be pictured.

I appreciated the pictures in the book because they significantly increased my enjoyment of the story. Visualizing the people, places, and phenomena described in the book made a huge difference. I was able to experience the story vividly.

The storyline contained a lot of twists and overlapping parts; many confusing things only began to make sense as the story unfolded. However, there were still a few unanswered questions in my mind. The final chapter before the epilogue seemed like a pack of revelations hastily revealed at the crux of the action. Most of the information was given through dialogue, which gave the impression that a lot was forced on the reader at one time. However, I did not find this to reduce my enjoyment of the book.

Due to some violence in this book, sensitive readers should approach it cautiously, as they might be triggered.

The book appeared properly edited, considering its length. I found a few errors that did not affect my reading experience negatively. Therefore, I did not find it enough to take away any point. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I couldn't give it a lower rating because it has all the elements of a good science fiction story, even though the narrative was rushed toward the end. I recommend it for anybody who enjoys an uncommon science fiction story that tilts more towards reality.

I hope Walters's reasons are worth the while and his, and it doesn't end in wasted efforts. Honestly, I don't see a reason why I book should be written with so much technicality, and I'm glad that this isn't one of those books.

The author's engaging writing style, a well-rounded view on time, well supported and thoroughly researched writing, thought-provoking and well written sci-fi story that tilts more towards reality. These are what make the book fascinating. Thanks for the insightful review.

The concept of two partner scientists who are arrogant and over-excited, which leads them to a deadly mistake makes me think of the TV show Fringe, also because one of them is named Walter and wants to make things right. Thank you for your great review!

"This book is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that life is too short to dwell on the past, and that we should always strive to be better than we were yesterday."
