What an original take!,

This review is from: Conqueror (Times Tapestry 2) (Paperback)
Baxter is a modern master who has given us a new way of thinking about alt/history SF. His interesting technique: assume that the world came out the way it did DESPITE opportunities of the "Weavers" to change the "past" through interventions.
While this volume of the series can be read alone, it is better starting with the first installment. In century-spanning style, we watch how opportunities arise at various points which could have resulted in a sea change in human history....but (perhaps)didn't. Baxter obviously has carefully researched the surroundings and background of the various places and times he discusses (focusing mostly on what is now Great Britain), and manages to follow a family tree from generation to generation in a rather novel and interesting way. As always, his descriptive powers are unmatched in modern-day SF. Highly recommended |
