"A Dance Through The Fires of Time is more than one man's reminiscences; it is also an avant-garde step into publishing that combines a written autobiography with a collection of website links…Mercer's writing pulls us into his life, allowing us to experience the exciting and sometimes alarming transformations that have taken place globally across six decades and into a new century. In this beautifully written book, we are also reminded that technology, like life, can quickly shift from daunting to exhilarating. It takes someone as innovative as David Mercer to remind us how quickly this can happen."
