Critiques en avant-première

Set in Victorian London with characters real and imagined, The Map of Time is a page turner in which H.G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel, save lives and literary classics including Dracula and The Time Machine from being wiped from existence. Praise from the Spanish press: “A miracle from beginning to end...a masterpiece." --QUÉ LEER “A bestseller that no professor of literature would be ashamed to read." --PÚBLICO "A literary cocktail whose primordial mission, demonstrably achieved, consists of completely enthralling anyone who picks up the novel and of resuscitating the lost pleasures of reading." --MERCURIO “A revelation...” --LA VANGUARDIA "It’s a heck of a novel of temporal paradoxes, scientific dreams, literary myths and love stories with no expiration date, which will remain imbued in the reader’s mind." --Ricard Ruiz, El periódico "This Félix J. Palma can be considered a book of post-modern adventures. It possesses a plot skillfully built, intelligent dialogues and a magnificent resolution. The result, apart from being pleasurable, comes close to excellence."--Angel Juristo, ABC “In The Map of Time, Palma goes beyond the myth in the work of Wells and the nature of time, through an intelligent, thrilling and agile game of metafiction.” Guillermo Busutil, La opinión de Málaga “An excellent book of entertainment: gripping and vertiginous, with a plot whose twists and turns, discoveries and adventures take place at a galloping pace, leaving the reader breathless.” Blog Solodelibros.es “An addictive novel, intelligent and precise, which casts its nets on those who read it.” Fantasymundo “It has been a long time since a science fiction book moved me in such a profound way as The Map of Time. And the thing is, in all respects, I believe we have a masterpiece of the genre.” Susana Vallejo, Literatura Prospectiva “The Map of Time is an intelligent novel, written in an elaborate prose of great clarity. One of those texts which like an enormous spider web traps the reader in a complex array of situations from which it is impossible to escape. Blog El chino lee “The Map of Time offers something which seemed impossible up to now, the perfect combination of entertainment and the highest narrative aspirations. It is full of unforgettable images, woven with suggestive sentences and it puts forth one of the most daring and best drawn plots I’ve read in some time.” Marian Womack, Diario de Cádiz What happens if we change History? Félix J. Palma raises such questions in The Map of Time, for which he was awarded the XL Ateneo de Sevilla Novela Prize. Palma weaves a historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting, a story full of love and adventure that also pays homage to the roots of science fiction while transporting its readers to a fascinating Victorian London for their own taste of time travel.
