Well the book basically has what Paul Gettle sugeested ... I guy is
"convinced" to take a cryo nap for a hundred years ( I think) and wakes
up realizes what's happened finds someone with a "time machine" (the time
machine was interesting ... you could specify the time traveled to the
hundredths of second, IIRC but it had a 50/50 chance of sending forwards
or backwards ... :) he went back in time and it turns out that time is
immutable ... quite interesting... If you have the time I strongly urge
to read Heinlein ... he is excelent ...one of the best IMO ...

Door into Summer (Time Travel / cryogenics)
Number of the Beast (Alternate Dimensions)
Farnham's Freehold (Far Flung Time Travel)
Job: A Comedy of Justice (Alternate Dimensions)
Time Enough For Love (Rejuvenation / Long Life Spans / Time Travel)

These are Off the Top of My head ...
