I gave this review four stars, but it is really 3.5 I love time travel books to just about any place/time--a time-travel junkie of sorts! This book had lots going for it--time travel to an interesting era, clearly well-researched, and a plausible portal device. However, one strength is also Tear in Time's greatest limitation. In parts I felt like I was reading late-Michener books--he learned these facts so he was going to inform us, too, whether it advanced the story or not. He lost the story telling thread in the thrill of the documentation. Petersen verged on that, too. Much as I appreciated the versimilitude he brought to Tear in Time, several times it was just too much. Still, I finished the book and found the conclusion satisfying. I would pick up another of his books.
