Title: non-stop action and little else
Review: This book succeeds at what it tries to do. It keeps us turning pages and implicitly critiques Connie Willis's poorly executed THE DOOMSDAY BOOK. For my money, it ought to have tried to do at least a little more, though. Even the incessant action-adventure eventually becomes wearying.This is the first novel I've read that comes with a bibliography. I would have given it an extra star for this circumstance--it charmed and amused me--except that on this bibliography's recommendation I read the book from which TIMELINE took its (pseudo-scientific) explanation of time travel, THE FABRIC OF REALITY. Let's just say it ought to have occurred to me that a book that calls itself "The Fabric of Reality" is likely to be only loosely connected to it.
