Arthur C. Clarke Is Turning My Brains into a Pretzel


"Time's Eye" by Clarke and Stephen Baxter has aliens messing with timelines on earth, resulting in Alexander the Great going to battle against Ghenghis Khan, with some Colonial British troops (and Rudyard Kipling) and three soldiers from 2037 on hand. The mental meltdown comes in the last few chapters, when we learn what is going on. It was like sour candy--it's almost painful, but it is so much fun, I jumped right into the sequel, "Sunstorm." Then there's a third book, "Firstborn." Woooo-hooo!
