Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Great skills in marrative but a weak arc story. And as we read the characters are not developing in interesting ways rather deivem along by time and events. ( ) Kada vidite da neko postavlja jake masivne temelje od najkvalitetnijeg materijala, ocekujete od graditelja da na njih postavi monumentalno zdanje. Medjutim, kada umesto velebnog zdanja na njima iznikne obicna brvnara morate osetiti razocarenje. Upravo je u tome problem sa ovim Klarkovim romanom. Pocinje odlicno, prvih 100 strana najavljuje epski zaplet onako sa snaznom Zil Vernovskom aromom, ali onda sledi kontinuirani pad u kvalitetu pisanja, zapleta, opisa, razrade likova, raspleta...Oko 250-te strane vec tone u dosadu i nebulozu. Mocna reka u pocetku sada je samo obican plitki potocic, a ja kao citalac ne mogu a da se ne zapitam gde su se dele sve te propustene prilike za nesto zaista izuzetno veliko epskih razmera. Roman sam poceo da citam u jednom dahu a zavrsio sam ga u tri. Konacni utisak - onako. Moglo je to biti mnogo mnogo bolje. Ostaje da vidim da li ce nastavak ovog prvog dela trilogije "Vremenska Oiseja" biti bolji od svog ne bas reprezentativnog predhodnika. Konacna ocena 3 zvezdice. What can I expect from a title like that with hard-hitting authors like this? A little bit of the strengths of both and a few of their weaknesses, of course. Most of the characters feel like Clarke's inventions, but some of the odder characters kinda felt like Baxter. The real strength of this novel is the slicings of time and location, jaunting whole segments of the Earth's populace into mish-mashes quite like Riverworld. How do the armies of Genghis Kahn and Alexander the Great sound, clashing in an epic end? Good? WELCOME TO THIS NOVEL. :) Astronauts, AI phones, ravening hoards, gentlemen Greek explorers (HA), and modern Afganistan warriors and, for good measure, the missing link species for humanity. The mix is quite fun and the promise is there. Strong start, fun middle... but what happened to the end? Oh, wait, book one. Let's see where this goes. :) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML:“Wonderfully entertaining . . . a story that engrosses you with its dramatized ideas about the nature of existence . . . You won’t set the book down either to eat or sleep or work if you can help it.”—Chicago Tribune In an instant, Earth is carved up in time and reassembled like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Suddenly the world becomes a patchwork of eras, from prehistory to 2037, each with its own indigenous inhabitants. The explanation for this cataclysmic event may lie in the ancient city of Babylon, where two groups of refugees from 2037—three cosmonauts and three U.N. peacekeepers—have detected strange radio signals. The peacekeepers find allies in nineteenthcentury British troops and in the armies of Alexander the Great. The cosmonauts join forces with the Mongol horde led by Genghis Khan. Both sides set out for Babylon, vowing to win the race for knowledge—as a powerful and mysterious entity watches, waiting. Praise for Time’s Eye “A rousing adventure.”—The New York Times Book Review “By the end, when two of history’s most ambitious conquerors meet, we are so thoroughly invested in the characters, we can’t wait for the sequel.”—Entertainment Weekly (Editor’s Choice) “A fast and engaging read.”—Rocky Mountain News.
