Nice take on alternate worlds, US politics and time travel all bound up in a crackingly paced thriller plot. Recommended. I was especially impressed with the use of alternate USs as commentary on US imperialism in the real world. I think this is McAuley's best book since The Secret of Life and would be happy to see it gracing award nominations later this year.
