Wow! A very exciting read, with an interesting mingling of different times in history. The basic premise is that suddenly the world has been split into various "pieces" from different times and put back together. Not only has this destroyed many civilizations and put people from different times in contact with each other, it also screwed up weather patterns. (Suddenly you have an area that's still in the Ice Age sitting right next to a warmer spot--it wreaks havoc with the climate.)
Strong characters, lots of plot twists, and vivid descriptions. Definitely one I'd recommend.

Interesting approach to a different timeline story. The book also has the accompanying CD which has an electronic copy of the book, interviews with the authors, and background material to the story.

This is an incredibe story from the Grand Master of true, hard Sci-Fi. "Other" beings who may, or may not, be the origin of man are "developing" mankind as almost a toy or passtime. There is also a CD included.
