The Outcasts of Time

Damn, damn. I really like Ian Mortimer's Non-Fiction “Time Traveller” series which I find eminently readable, interesting, and with good flow. I also loved the basis of this novel; The idea of time travelers going back in time are plenty but sending the POV character forward is rarer. However in the end this book did not work for me. It was a bit of a plod morality tale instead of what could have been. The erudition is there and it is not laid on so thickly to be an impediment to the plot, it is just that, for me, the plot fell a bit flat and was episodic.
