The world is split apart and put back together again. Why? No one knows, but they're left to deal with the consequences. Friends across time struggle for survival and meaning. More clearly awaits in the sequels.
A fun imagining. Seemed at times like an excuse to pit favorite historical characters against each other, but I enjoyed it.
Very engaging start to a trilogy about alien intelligence that has it in for humanity.
What do you get when you combine two of the best Sci-Fi minds? A great book! I really enjoyed this one. Not too much hard science, some fun history, and a band of likable characters.
I will echo some of the other comments regarding the overall pace of the book being a little slow, but I found the world they created to be engrossing. I am really looking forward to continuing the series.
