Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

High spirits and ingenuity mark the fifth volume in the Belisarius series from veteran Drake (Foreign Legions) and relative newcomer Flint (The Philosophical Strangler), who have devised an intriguing premise and developed it intelligently. Agents from two mutually exclusive futures travel back to the sixth century and begin to steer history in conflicting directions. One wants to mold humanity into a single pattern and is directing a ruthless, fanatical empire based in India but designed to take over the world; the other accepts human diversity and attempts to rally the quarreling nations of Asia and Africa to resist domination. Fortunately, the benign intelligence has teamed up with the Roman general Belisarius, a military genius with a gift for coordinating people as well as army maneuvers. This novel focuses on Belisarius's invasion of India. With all military history to draw on and action scattered across several continents, the story races through many scenes as steamboats launch Greek fire, telegraph lines connect the Romans and their allies and delicious palace intrigues simmer. The far-ranging locations and huge cast of characters may be confusing, but the book does include maps and a long glossary of names, places and unfamiliar vocabulary. More seriously, readers might wish for fewer conferences during which characters cheerfully congratulate themselves on how clever they are. Overall, though, the fascination of seeing familiar tactics applied in unfamiliar situations makes this novel a winner.

From Library Journal

Guided by a crystalline entity from the future, General Belisarius's Roman armies continue their campaign into the land of Indus, seeking to thwart the malign plans of the Malwa overlord. Flint's fifth installment of his popular alternate history series (e.g., An Oblique Approach; In the Heart of Darkness) depicts ancient history as it never was, complete with alien intelligences, 20th-century technology, and modern sensibilities. Purchase where the series is popular.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5th in a great series !, Jun 17 2004
By Michael Lynn Mcguire "mmcguire" (Sugar Land, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tide of Victory (Mass Market Paperback)
Great, great, great book. I especially enjoy a great series since I sometimes read 2 to 3 books a week. Very engaging, the characters are real and well developed, the plot is very interesting. I generally do not go in for alternate history but this one draws me in for some reason.

The war scenes are done very well in this particular book also. It is fairly sad when one of the major characters dies after a battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars When?, Mar 13 2004
By Michael J. Stern "ohmikeghod" (Lancaster, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been reading and re-reading this series. I WANT the next one! There was a "Coming Soon" on the inside cover of my paperback for the next (last?) book in this series, but that was years ago! I want to know what happens in this interesting alternate history. I really thumb my nose at those who are put off by historical inaccuracies - those are in the veil of illusion, anyway. What counts is the soul of the series.
