Time Shards

Most time travel stories involve the travel of individuals, a few have groups. In this book, huge fragments of the world travel in time, allowing primitive Celt to meet up with Victorian and modern inhabitants of south-eastern England. This first book in a series leaves many questions unanswered.

Among those questions are whether this can ever be un-done. Most time travel has some handwaving about how the travelers accomplish the feat - here that must expand to the entire world. How did this "chrono-event" keep everybody in the same geographical place, considering a rotating and orbiting planet whose sun is part of a rotating and orbiting galaxy, etc.? Perhaps some of this will be answered in future books.

Author Dana Fredsti is a self-described B-movie actress, and co-writes with her husband David Fitzgerald. Their characters were interesting, with the tale told from multiple viewpoints. I wanted to see a section from Alex's viewpoint, and obviously one from "Merlin", but perhaps that will also have to wait for a subsequent book. The main villain of this tale is a caricature, unfortunately. The specific story here comes to a conclusion, but the world story definitely doesn't. I'll probably dig into the next book when I can track it down.
