With Twice Upon A Time, Phil Nero has married the conventional sci-fi time-travel story to the unconventional ethos of Woodstock Nation, circa the late ‘60s - early ‘70s. The result is a rollicking, deviously plotted, and ultimately poignant tale that manages to re-examine a tumultuous era in America’s history from a fresh perspective, and to resurrect the spirits of those who lived and died in its unforgettable sway.

 

Mikhail Horowitz, social critic and author Big League Poets

________________________________________________________________

Phil Nero’s Twice Upon A Time cooks up a storyline that mixes a touch of Vonnegut with a little bit of Kesey. Add a dash of Dick Francis to thicken the plot and we have a free-wheeling tale that entertainingly revisits an era that made a bold attempt to reshape how we think and live as a nation.

 

Robert J. David, author of This Land Is Your Land

Twice Upon A Time is a human story, a story of redemption in a nation gone amok. A story that not only addresses choices, but also looks at timing, the split second that can mean the difference between life and death or other tragic consequences. Incidents that cause us to wonder 'if only' or 'What if?'

 

The Daily Freeman

Humorous, sad, and intimate, Twice Upon A Time, in its plethora of complex and very real characters, vividly brings back the college campus of the late sixties. This sweet love story, a journey into an individual's past forever marred by a single, split-second action, will have readers pondering the direction of their own lives. In Ellis Ellis we are given not a character but a dear friend who we ache for, laugh with, and carry with us long after we turn the last page.

It's May 2003, just days after the president declares an end to major fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
 
With images of a new war rekindling nightmares from an old one, Col. E. Adam Ellis takes an unexpected turn on an uncharted highway.
 
 
Driving up the East Coast, a freakish thunderstorm in the Catskill Mountains unleashes bizarre forces that launch Ellis on a 30-year tumble in time. He lands naked in an upstate New York college town on Super Bowl Sunday, 1970.
 
An extremely timely novel, Twice Upon A Time will captivate anyone who's ever questioned the wisdom of war, our leaders, or even ourselves, while compelling us to confront the age old question of what we might do differently, if given the chance to change our past.
