Publisher's Summary

In 1884, in a history very different from our own, the world stood on the verge of war. Once again, the Russian and British Empires faced each other across the Mississippi. Then, the first trans-temporal portal was developed on the Nayarit Line, and history changed again.

A hundred years later, the Cross-Temporal Empire consisted of 54 parallel, alternate Earths. The death of First Leader Manek splits the ruling Council, and the Clemhorn family finds itself drawn into the struggle. A struggle not only for the future of the Empire, but for their lives in a war that will split families, and set cousin against cousin.

Wonderfully Balanced

I really enjoyed this one. Andrew Harvey writes solidly plotted science fiction (or is it fantasy) about the Cross-Temporal Empire and the Clemhorn family. Grandfather is in line for the top job, while his grandchildren, Conrad, Donald, Arnold and Ivy, pursue their own lives. Conrad is a good-hearted player. Donald is an academic. Ivy is an ambitious career soldier. Arnold is... Arnold.
The private lives of the Clemhorns keep being interrupted by the encroaching civil war, and the author balances romance and friendship and family ties with big picture military and political pulls.
The narrators work together well, with Sally Bruce doing all the female voices and Alan Malcolm carrying the narration and all the male voices. I found some of the accents odd, but on the whole they did a good job of bringing the characters to life. The stirring musical chapter spacers worked a treat, too.
