Fabulous Conclusion to a Wonderful Series,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Weaver (Times Tapestry 4) (Paperback)
Stephen Baxter continues to amaze.
His "Weaver" series takes a new spin on alt-history, with attempts by some people of an unspecified future trying to change the course of (mostly) Western Civilization through attempted interventions at critical historical points - Constantine, the Battle of Hastings, Columbus, etc. When he suddenly jumps the story to WWII, I was concerned that the discontinuity so carefully avoided in the first 3 volumes was lost. But my fears were misplaced as he neatly ties together the prior events. While reading (and remembering the details) of the earlier editions is not, strictly speaking, necessary, it does help one to understand the beauty of his "solution" to the problem he has created. To avoid any "spoilers" all I'll say is that his conclusion is elegant, consistent, and left me with a smile of appreciation for his ingenuity, as well as for his clearly defined characters. Well written, insightful, and extraordinarily clever. |
