The premise sounded fascinating but the execution is awful. A time shift story where despite a divergence in the timeline 2000 years ago, and which supposedly led to a different history - so much is absolutely the same - right down to London having the same topography and even the names being the same. I mean, there is a Mall and a Horseguards and Balliol at Oxford!! What a missed opportunity to create the London which might have emerged from a vastly different 2000 years of history!!

Definitely an interesting concept. It was spoiled somewhat by the laborious beginning where every detail is written in an almost painful way. The book could have lost a hundred pages at the beginning and be a much better read. However once the action really starts it goes from dawdling to light speed. The last half of the book is faultless and impossible to put down. Read All Reviews
