David Rubenstein's Reviews > Time's Eye

This is a vastly entertaining trip into history. A few modern-day people are swept into an alternate world. People from vastly different ages in history find themselves in the same time period. What would happen if the Mongol Horde, led by Genghis Khan, were to confront the disciplined army of Alexander the Great? You will find the answer in this novel!

Throughout the story, it is a mystery how these people from different ages got swept together into the same time period. It has to do with the sudden appearance of a large number of spherical eyes that have popped up everywhere. It is not at all clear what these eyes are, and what they are doing.

This novel is actually a collaboration between wonderful science fiction authors Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey) and Stephen Baxter. I recommend this book to all fans of science fiction.
