Summary: Time Travel & Pseudo-Scientific Jargon
Review: Time travel and what-have-beens are among my favorite type of book. Highly recommended are Anderson's TIME PATROL, Piper's LORD KALVAN or Dann's TIMESHARE series.

However, Mr. Parkinson has produced a plot with a minimal storyline, characters with confusing pasts, presents and futures, a knowledge of history which would not do justice to a ten year old and glossed over this dross with mathematical constructs and scientific jargon in a mish-mash of nihilism. Having received the enire series plus his TIMECOP work, the best I would note is that Mr. Parkinson's writing is of a consistent level -- unfortunately, that level is poor.

Summary: confusing, but an interesting concept
Review: when I first saw this book I found it sounded like it would be interesting, but once I started I found it hard to understand confusing, jumping to one plot after another, I just cannot recommend this book.
