  <default_description>In an instant, Earth is carved up in time and reassembled like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Suddenly the world becomes a patchwork of eras, from prehistory to 2037, each with its own indigenous inhabitants.

The explanation for this cataclysmic event may lie in the ancient city of Babylon, where two groups of refugees from 2037 - three cosmonauts and three U.N. peacekeepers - have detected strange radio signals. The peacekeepers find allies in nineteenth-century British troops and in the armies of Alexander the Great. The cosmonauts join forces with the Mongol horde led by Genghis Khan. Both sides set out for Babylon, vowing to win the race for knowledge - as a powerful and mysterious entity watches, waiting.</default_description>

This is, I suppose, a good thing for the beginning of a series, but I got the impression that the series actually takes a bit of a different turn from here, so maybe not so much.

    <body><![CDATA[So a while back I got the urge to read some really good science fiction.  I grew up on sci-fi, but hadn't read any in years, not since first coming to college.

    <body><![CDATA[While I did enjoy this book, it was not as good as I was hoping it would be. I love time travel stories and was really looking forward to this one considering who the authors are. While the story was good enough to keep me reading it was not great. Too much historical information for me and while I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33970649">more...</a>]]></body>

In the near future a &quot;discontinuity&quot; occurs whereby civilizations and individuals from different times and places in earth history find themselves together on a new earth.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was nothing spectacular.  It was entertaining but I like plausibility in my science fiction and this book was seriously lacking.  There are just too many things wrong with the science and social aspect which was distracting for me.  Speaking for historical figures is difficult and not much...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20884452">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an absolutely amazing book. Everyone should go and get it now. It explores the idea of a super-advanced alien civilization or something like that playing with time on earth.

    <body><![CDATA[I am not a sci-fi reader but my son told me that this is one series that I should try.  Very interesting points to ponder. ACC certainly knows his sciences and sociology!  Fun, scary and thought provoking all at the same time.   Great for the snowy day I am had.
