Summary: Parallel Universes & Quantum Mechanics
Review: This is James Hogan's best book in my opinion. I will be short. It's about the theory that all possible outcomes of events occur based upon their probability. In doing so parallel universes form as a result! So we have worlds where WWII never happened and competing futures try and alter the past to form NEW future universes more ameniable to those losing their power in what they feel is an unfavorable future.This book has time travelers going from 1976 America where President Kennedy sends them to go to the 1930s to try and alter the course of history to save mankind from the coming nuclear war with Nazi Europe. They can only go back so far because they only have a standard 1970s power facility and not the Fusion Power plants of the 21st century where the whole process was developed. From THAT 21st century meddlers from the future helped bring Hitler to power and cause the recession of the 1920s rise to the great depression. Hilter of course turns on his masters however. Eventually these travelers from a version 1976 facing Nazi Europe fights to cut off the 1930 Nazi gate to the their 21st century patrons. Great cameos for Edward Teller, Albert Einstien, and many other prominent politicians and scientists of the 1930s! Great read!

Summary: A Fertile Plot
Review: Yes, the characters may be a bit cardboardish. Yes, the writing might be a tad clunky. But Hogan makes up for all of his mechanical shortcomings by inundating the reader with massive amounts of plot -- and I loved every minute of it. It's been so long since I've read a purely plot-driven novel, and it was refreshing. The main character of this novel is probably Ferracini, whom we most identify with since we experience most of the book with him. He's a special-ops kind of guy who doesn't understand everything but carries out the various missions to safeguard our world from Nazi Germany and Co. Winston Churchill would probably get second billing, and he's as colorful as ever. There's a lot of science and history in this novel, but Hogan never under- or overexplains. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable read. History buffs and scifi fans will both get something out of this novel.
