A Science Fiction/Time Travel/Alternate History book with a few too many good ideas. Without giving away too much, some characters adhere to some overplayed, well-known archetypes (e.g. the coldly-beautiful seductress, the beautiful damsel in distress, etc.). The book does well with its plot for much of the book, and even serves up what might be a fitting ending were it not packed so full of foreshadowed machinations. The final part of the book, however, serves up some very heavy exposition and villain monologue as well as wrapping the book up a little too neatly while leaving the possibility open for a followup.
Still, because the book is paced rather well, it's worth a read for fans of any of the aforementioned genres--I completed it in a few hours.
