Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Time-Slip for White Dwarf #78, and stated that "Martin makes it blackly clear that his protagonist's religious cure-all leads to an upswing in the evil it explains away."^[1]

Wendy Graham reviewed Time-Slip for Adventurer magazine and stated that "As an exploration of religion, past, present and probably future, the book does indeed have something to say, but as a novel, it is a 'two and half out of five’, for characterisation, it is a 'hit and miss', a bit shallow. The characters are puppets, moved around on very thin strings to further the message."^[2]
