It’s a little hard to find, but The Proteus Operation is worth a look-see: it’s a time travel / alternate history WWII story (with a twist that becomes fairly obvious as the book goes on). James Hogan got, alas, a bit strange in his thinking as he grew older: but this book was written well before any rot set in. Check it out.
And so, adieu to Dune.
Does anybody here remember a novel about an anti-nuclear protestor at Los Alamos in the ’80s who gets zapped back to the Manhattan Project circa 1942? As I recall, she basically tries her Social Justice Warrior best to keep nukes from happening, but only succeeds in making the world a lot worse.
@prayerborne: Yes, that was called “The Trinity Paradox” as I recall (author escapes me). Read both that and “Proteus Operation” back in college.
Author was Kevin J. Anderson, who is really good at making characters I cannot stand.
I didn’t realize JP Hogan had died. He wrote so many neat books. Voyage from Yesteryear is my favorite.
John C. Wright’s The Architect of Aeons came out today. 78 pages into 386, the PLANS of the previous 3 books definitely went awry in a very non-trivial way. Very Good so far.
Thanks for the heads-up on this. Now I’m torn between ordering the hardback so I can get it signed, or the e-book so I can get it sooner.
Read this one back in 2009, checked Goodreads and my review at the time was “Long take on the time-travel/parallel universe trope – heavy on the science end of science fiction.”
