The author did an excellent job on the difficult task of portraying time travel. I found
Eternity's Handmaiden constantly leaving me wanting to read more. There were times
when I wanted to go to bed but I simply could not put the book down. I'm looking
forward to Ubtrent's next book whenever it may be published. Basically, Eternity's
Handmaiden is a must read book for science fiction fans and, pretty much, anyone who
enjoys a lot of excitement. Check it out for yourself.

The concepts of this novel are thought-provoking, causing the reader to question the morality of man's advancements, and humanity's very existence. A gifted artist, Ubtrent paints a picture of words. His descriptions of untouched landscapes are without flaw. And just as unconquerable as the book's rugged terrain is the dominative nature of Alexis herself. Schematically brilliant, it leads the reader through a journey of purpose and builds to an insurmountable conclusion. Twisting our conception of cyclical time, it ends where the story begins.

Set in a future that is not that far away, in either concept or time, this adventure/mystery takes you on a ride whose ending is just one of the many plot twists you'll experience. Build around a strong lead character and set in a series of worlds one hopes never become reality, Eternity's Handmaiden will leave you wondering whether the technology we so fervently seek is truly to our mutual benefit. Excellent read. I'd recommend it to everyone.
