Time's Eye

This is the first of the “Time Odyssey” series. There are three books as of now, but it is written to make much more. Unfortunately, Mr. Clarke died in 2008, so this series will probably stay unfinished, and that's probably for the better.

Should you invest your time in this? If you know Stephen Baxter's work and you like it, go on. If you are under the spell of Arthur C. Clarke's name, do not. This isn't Clarke's. He probably contributed at high level, but the grunt work is Baxter's, and his style overwhelmingly dominates.

If you are still undecided and don't mind a small spoiler, only read it if you enjoy historical fiction, because that is mostly what this book is..
