And when Michael, Merope, and Polly finally get to World War II, things just get worse. But now the time-travel lab is suddenly canceling assignments for no apparent reason and switching around everyones schedules. And 17-year-old Colin Templer, who has a major crush on Polly, is determined to go to the Crusades so that he can catch up to her in age. Polly Churchill's next assignment will be as a shopgirl in the middle of London's Blitz. Dunworthy, into letting her go to VE Day.
Merope Ward is coping with a bunch of bratty 1940 evacuees and trying to talk her thesis adviser, Mr. Michael Davies is prepping to go to Pearl Harbor. Scores of time-traveling historians are being sent into the past, to destinations including the American Civil War and the attack on the World Trade Center. In her first novel since 2002, Nebula and Hugo award-winning author Connie Willis returns with a stunning, enormously entertaining novel of time travel, war, and the deeds - great and small - of ordinary people who shape history.
