Reviews of THE DEPTHS OF TIME by Roger MacBride Allen Read Chapter One of THE DEPTHS OF TIME Return to Home Page PUBLISHERS WEEKLY THE DEPTHS OF TIME Roger MacBride Allen. Bantam Spectra, $13.95 paper (464p) ISBN 0-553-37811-2 BOOKLIST -UNCORRECTED PROOF Allen, Roger MacBride. The Depths of Time. Mar. 2000. 464p. Bantam/Spectra, paper, $13 (0-553-37811-2). Allen meets his usual high standard in this far-future combination of speculative hard science, social sf and pure adventure. It employs the standard of device of wormholes, but instead of permitting interstellar travel, these wormholes allow time travel. When Captain Koffield of the Chronologic Patrol ship Upholder discovers an outbreak of piracy and would-be wormhole hijackers, he seems to have no choice but to destroy the wormhole to the planet Solace. This isolates the planet; maroons Koffield 80 years in the future; brings him in conflict with terraforming scientists and the population of Solace, winch he may have doomed in trying to save it; and generally puts the tale's whole cast up to their stern sheets in alligators. Allen handles this sort of thing as well as anyone in the business, producing a highly readable balance of characterization, graceful and sometimes witty prose, and thoroughly, intelligently developed ideas that don't slow the pacing.

Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours Customer Reviews: the end justifies I just had to review this one because for one thing I've reviewed the first two and, for another, this is the best of the trilogy. It's not Hugo material or anything, but hey, it's Star Wars! We read them because the films entertained us and we hope the books will too. Well, this one delivers on that. The action picked up in the second book, and really comes to a head in this one. What seemed to start as a small potatoes bid for independence (or non-interference, as is more the case here) now takes on higher stakes when millions of lives are threatened by the Starbuster superweapon. The superweapon is always a tried and true element in Star Wars, even if a bit overdone, but it's still fun. You get to see some really good scenes with Mara Jade and Leia having to work together, and there's more of the Bakurans in this one, too (enjoy it while you can, it's the last book to date that they show up in). But the best part of the book is that the major conflict is resolved in an epic space battle, something we really do see far too little of in Star Wars, especially ones written as well as this one was.

Handlung
Als die Paläanthropologin Dr. Barbara Marchando vom Smithsonian Institute in Washington zum Thanksgiving-Fest ihre Familie im Ort Gowrie im US-Staat Mississippi besucht, entdeckt sie beim Stöbern auf dem Dachboden das 150 Jahre alte Tagebuch ihres Ahnen Zebulon Jones. Der ehemalige Sklave hatte es nach dem Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg zu einem gewissen Wohlstand gebracht und das Anwesen seines inzwischen bankrotten Sklavenhalters aufgekauft. Neben Zebulons Schilderungen des Sklavendaseins ist es vor allem eine merkwürdige Begebenheit, die Barbaras Aufmerksamkeit fesselt. Zebulon berichtet nämlich von einem Versuch, affenartige »Geschöpfe« als Sklaven einzuführen, um die Restriktionen des Menschenhandels zu umgehen. Der Versuch schlug fehl, und die mutmaßlichen Gorillas wurden im Jahr 1851 ein Stück außerhalb des alten Sklavenfriedhofs auf dem Familienanwesen verscharrt. Die Wissenschaftlerin wittert eine historische Sensation und macht sich mit detektivischem Spürsinn auf die Suche nach den Gräbern. Die Familie, allen voran ihre Tante, die Matriarchin Josephine Smith, reagiert zunächst skeptisch, aber schließlich hatte die kleine Barbara schon als Kind seltsame Flausen im Kopf. Mit tatkräftiger Hilfe ihres Cousins Livingston Jones stößt Barbara schließlich auf das erste Skelett und ist zunächst enttäuscht, weil es sich um verhältnismäßig normale Menschenknochen zu handeln scheint - bis sie auch den ersten Schädel freilegt.

  • Series: The Corellian Trilogy
    • Ambush at Corellia
    • Assault at Selonia
    • Showdown at Centerpoint
      • As the Star Wars series go, I'd probably rank this below Zahn and Tyers and on par with Wolverton's effort. It is a very readable and fast-paced series with the characters drawn pretty much true to form along with some entertaining additions (a droid named Q9, who acts like an arrogant cross between 3P0 and R2D2, is my favorite new character) and new species. The story involves all the main characters converging on Han's home system of Corellia to try to negotiate some kind of new trade agreement to essentially bring the system into the New Republic fold unofficially (it being Han's home, of course, we run into a relative). There are some pit stops along the way (Luke and Lando's trip seemed rather unnecessary, given the foreshadowing build-up it was given in the first part of the first book, though I can appreciate the results and liked the subplot), but they aren't too distracting. The main plot remains as unpredictable as a story written with Star Wars limitations can be, but there are a few rough spots. Once again, Han and Leia's Jedi children are more or less to perform feats well above and beyond the call of duty, which is not awful for me but a little absurd. Surely the series could've been set 5-6 years later just as easily, so the older children showing such skills would be credible. Of course, the fact that they are Jedi explains everything, I suppose, so this is a minor quibble.
