5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent merger of alternate histories & space travel., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Greater Infinity (Mass Market Paperback)

A young engineer is embroiled in the machinations of two competing probability traversing cultures- one human , one neanderthal. Utilising his knowledge of our space program he seeks a resolution of the conflict. A fast paced story which competently merges two of the major themes of SF. Much the best of M. McCollum's work. A sequel would be most appreciated, expanding on the linear time travel & truly alien civilisations hinted at towards the end of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sequels, Please!!, September 6, 2006

This review is from: A Greater Infinity (Paperback)

I read the book and I unable to put it down until I finished the book that same day. I was however dissapointed by the fact that I have since then never found a sequel. Such a grand story should evoke at least a dozen franchizes with multiple sequels, the likes of "Star Trek & Star Wars.

Its been years, however, to date I continue to wait faithfully. I have been tempted to request permission to include/collaborate on a sequel to it myself, however, I realize that I would fall short.

I continue to hope that I do not find myself looking for a sequel another ten years from now.

1. I would like to learn more about those humans (cromagnon desendants),
2. The great enemy that defeated them,
3. Any realities where Earth became an advanced space faring civilization.

I need more!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorites, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Greater Infinity (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought this book used at a public library book sale. Since then it has been one of my all-time favorite books. Time travel, "sliding", warring races - it had elements which I thoroughly enjoyed and shared with my brother who also loves the book. My copy is worn from being read several times over.
