Product Description
Ingram
Mark Strang is asked to travel far back in time to the period of Caesar and the great Roman Triumvirate, in order to investigate the disappearance of a fellow time agent. What he discovers is that Caesar has been subverted by a Closer representative and that the Triumvirate has been undermined with civil war, mutual destruction, and the rewriting of history looming in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Overall pretty good. Seems like the end though, Oct 13 1998

This review is from: Caesar's Bicycle (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this book was passably good, if a bit short. I love the characters and the overall universe he created in this series. Read them in order and enjoy yourself. BTW, I'm not sure if this is the end or not it seems like it though, but it is open for a sequel. Overall this series was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very enjoyable, nicely written, Nov 21 2001
By William Daniels III "D" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caesar's Bicycle (Mass Market Paperback)
I was given this book, so I have started the series here. I thought that is was a really good mix between going fast enough to keep you interested, and going slow enough to explain what was happening. I really like alternate history, but I get sick of reading about WWII all the time, and so this book was a nice break.The book is written in such a way that if you didn't read the previous two, you can still understand what is happening and not feel lost. That is probably the reason for the other reviewer feeling that it repeats too much. But for someone who didn't read those, it is really helpful.
The only thing that I didn't like about this book was that it felt as if it ended too quickly. Almost as if the author decided that he was done writing, and slapped an ending onto it. I hope that this series is not finished, because I would really like reading more of these books.

4.0 out of 5 stars
still a good read, May 20 2005
By David B. Wade - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Caesar's Bicycle (Mass Market Paperback)
The conclusion to the somewhat harrowing Timeline trilogy by Barnes, this is perhaps the weakest volume. The ubersadistic Closers go out perhaps a bit too easily, and this book should be definately read only after the first 2, but it is a satisfactory conclusion. The protagonist's leftist political outlook is perhaps more strongly underlined in this volume too, but does not substantially figure in the story. Recommended, especially for fans of the subgenre, and for others who enjoy laconic heroes in an ultraviolent setting.
Listmania!
