Excellent science fiction, entertaining from the first page to the last. I've read plenty of time travel stories, but none involving multiple parallel worlds, until now. I found the story fascinating, and really liked Blake Din. There's a man that's dedicated to the spirit of his work. He follows the rules, at least until they prove to be an obstacle. He's a smart guy with definite values.There was nothing I did not like in the book. All details and descriptions are related in Blake's thoughts and observations, without slowing the story's pace. His primary mission involves his home world and one parallel world, but he visits that world in several spots on its timeline. Another case puts him briefly on yet another world. As he travels, he relates comparisons between those and other worlds he's visited. The other primary characters in the book are nearly as well developed as Blake, and the bit players are distinct and interesting personalities. The plot is complicated without being confusing, and contains an unexpected twist or two.The author indicates that future stories in the same universe are a possibility. I hope that proves to be the case, as I certainly enjoyed this one.
