Ides of March Bob Mayer

I was asked to review this by Librarything.com.

This was intriguing and from the blurb thought this was an unusual read but one worth reading.

This is a story about an Atlantean civilization who have devised machines that make time travel possible. this is  used by the Time Patrol and their enemy The Shadow. The Shadow's aim basically is to change history in a specific way, and if successful to target certain historical events  on the same day in six different years.  A Time Tsunami is evolved that destroys the current timeline (though other timelines continue to exist in parallel) . The Time Patrol are enabled to go back for approximately 24 hours at a time to work to prevent The Shadow from changing history.  Sounds complicated but if the reader takes their time it is such an interesting and thought provoking read. You keep asking yourself - could this happen?

In this book, six members of the Time Patrol are sent back to March 15th ( hence the title the Ides of March) in 6 different years. Their stories are told in parallel.

I persevered with it - the historical events were interesting but did not learn anything new ( but was not expecting to)

An interesting read, interesting author recommended.
