I’m not sure why I picked Robert Silverberg’s Hawksbill Station, actually. It’s a quirky time travel novel expanded from a short story about a political prison set up in the Precambrian Era – the ultimate in no-escape scenarios, really – and how the people in it react when someone new shows up. It’s not the greatest time travel novel ever written, but it’s worth your attention, not least because Silverberg did not romanticize the protagonists. You can get pretty quirky yourself when you’ve been sentenced to that kind of exile.
And so, adieu to the Peter Grant series.
