Rating: - An interesting concept
Arthur C. Clarke is one of the greats of science fiction. He is a master of that genre of sci-fi in which one takes A Big Concept and works through the consequences. This is such a novel, but with an odd twist - you get a historical drama as well. In this story, an alien race, whom we never actually meet, messes around with earth such that bits of the planet from different time periods suddenly find themselves coexisting - a prehistoric humanoid finds herself abruptly in the same world as a British ...

Rating: - The eyes have it
I thoroughly enjoyed Time's Eye and was left with quite a few thoughts but no conclusion. Normally I would not start a book that has a sequel or that is part of a xilogy, but for the magic name, 'Arthur C. Clarke.' When the army of Alexander the Great showed up, however I began to get a bit anxious, thinking 'Oh no, not another quantum leap saga,' but I stuck to it for another chapter or two, and was reassured by the continuing science questions pursued by the heroine.

Rating: - good story but frustrating.
Let me start by saying that i DID really enjoy this book. Its just that having read alot of Sir Arthurs work i couldnt help feeling a little dissapointed?

That said, i am looking forward to Times Eye 2 and expect it to be great, i ... Read More

Rating: - Good story, bad science
.
I like these two authors and I like time slip stories. So why did this book not quite reach my expectations?
Well, with both Stephen Baxter and Arthur C Clarke, you expect to get a bit more science in your science fiction – otherwise, it’s just fiction.

The basic outline is that the world is reassembled from pieces from across history. Into the fray are plunged three UN helicopter crew from 2037 patrolling the south west Afghanistan region, a fort full of British and ... Read More

Rating: - more history than science fiction
Well, I was disappointed with this. These are two of my all-time favourite authors. They write so well. I think I was expecting something much more anchored in science, this seemed to be much more about history (with a twist). The writing is still good, I suppose I just didn't enjoy the basic premise of the story.
If you prefer hard science fiction, avoid this.
