Negative Positive
Title: Not for the intensely practical
Review: Spoiler alert! Since my problem is with the plot, I may be giving twists away.I don't usually like alternate history, since the past is immutable. But Orson Scott Card thinks deeply about all he writes, and I was interested in his take on the Europeans' arrival in the Americas.Problem is, we get multiple alternate histories in Pastwatch. The brilliant scientists in the story have evidently never heard of the Law of Unintended Consequences.I willingly suspend disbelief for most novels. This one contains too many improbabilities for me and perhaps for the like-minded.
