Weber with a new(ish) take on time travel

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021

Actually better yarn than the predecessor. Weber's take on crosstime SciFi. The action is very up to Weber's best levels. Lots of issues, well-matched opponents... The first novel set the stage for the concept of time travel that could not change the past, until after many atrocities, the main story line discovered they were causing universal splits, and encountered a cross-time contemporary -- and a disaster coming from the past.
This yarn looks at the aftermath, and another case of a different split, and in more detail. These two stories are best read in sequence, but are both stand-alone yarns. I personally find some plot elements hard to suspend belief regarding, but I know more of physics than I did 40-50 years ago. And Quantum Mechanics does have some adherents to some form of multiverse caused by different past choices. As is the case for pretty much all time travel Sf, who knows what might be possible.

A Disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2021

I had hoped this would have been an improvement over The Gordian Protocol, but it was merely a continuation at the same level of mediocrity. The most interesting aspects were the foray into Byzantium and the development of the characters in that era. Otherwise, the story and characters seemed superficial as compared to Weber 's typical level of skill found in the Honor Harrington series. There will be no more Protocols in my future.

St. Mary's redux

Very reminiscent of The Chronicles of St. Mary series. David Weber is usually much more entertaining.

A terminal case of credulity strain

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2022

An interesting concept spoiled by too much reliance on credulity straining it-just-happened-that-way plot devices

2nd in a series, it was not a pleasurable read and has convinced me to not buy any more in that series. Prt 1 was not that good either, but David Weber's name was enough for me to give this series a chance. No more.
