I think that The Time Ships is a worthy sequel to H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, and it manages to tell a very different sort of story while still linking to the previous novel. I appreciated the acknowledgement of the Time Traveler's flaws, and the addition of the more enlightened Morlock protagonist Nebogipfel. I liked the use of the multiple-universe theory of time travel, and how the story followed the branches of different futures caused by the actions of the protagonists. There is a lot of scientific and philosophical discussion throughout the story, but I found most of it quite interesting. In the end, I can see why this one ended up on the radar for so many awards!
