Customer Reviews

Not my favorite but...

Here Matt and a co-agent travle to an alternate america where King George III offered consessions to the American Founding Fathers and so the american revolution never took place. Matt also comes to another realization that is both chilling and brilliant at the same time. While this book is not as action packed as the others it is still a worthy edition to the serise.

Good adventure and reasonable heros

This is the weakest of the three books in the series but only because it lacks the excitting beginning and the strong ending of the adventure. The plot and the heros hang together well even if you haven't read the previous book. Barnes does a good job of exploring what might have happened if many scientific advances had come along centuries early. His science is reasonable, and the story flows very well.

Solid old fashioned fun

Solid old fashioned fun and games written by an author who is rapidly developing into my favorite 90's writer. Everytime I go into a bookstore, I seek the B's to see if something new is out.Here with his third installment of his Timeline Wars, comes John Barnes, meticulous researcher,yet developing writer. I find the plot in this the weakest element but not as bad as say anything by Steven King. This is well worth both the time and money.
