Two guys and their time machine.

This a generally enjoyable book, but on the whole it is lackluster and comes across as a series of ad hoc time-fillers rather than a novel.

Adrian “Shel” Shelborne's father disappears and Adrian inherits some handy, extremely portable time machines. Shel goes in search of his father throughout time, enlisting his friend Dave Dryden, who speaks Latin and Greek. They start learning the rules of time-travel, which includes avoiding the creation of paradoxes on pain of death. Ultimately, they start using the time-machines to play tourist in the past and the near future. Difficulties ensue at various times, which require some intricate perambulations with their time-machines. The great figures of the past are modern and big-hearted and tolerant, unless they are identified as Catholics, in which case they are intolerant and threatening. (Galileo and Michealangelo may be Catholic, but they aren't identified as such.)

In short, the book was a generally entertaining time-waster. It really didn't have any big ideas. The whole thing seemed to be generated from the author's wish-fulfillment fantasy of what he would do if he had a time-machine.

Your mileage may differ.
