5.0 out of 5 stars An engrossing 544-page saga of love, betrayal, disaster, Sep 14 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Software engineer and technical writer P. Orin Zack's debut science fiction novel, The Shoals Of Time, is an engrossing 544-page saga of love, betrayal, disaster, and repercussions through a time stream that entangles human lives from the nineteenth to the twenty-third century. The rules of causality are twisted and the fate of humanity is precariously balanced between war and peace, as is the destinies of individuals caught up in the unbridles chaos. The Shoals Of Time is highly recommended for science fiction fans as an enjoyable, complex, interwoven narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Downside of Conflict Avoidance, Sep 2 2002
By A Customer
In 2001, the Office of Homeland Security was given the task of eliminating the threat of terrorism, not only within the US, but around the globe. The OHS was granted broad powers, autonomy, and told to do whatever it took to accomplish its objective. To succeed, the OHS will eventually have to be given the authority to act globally as well.

What if an agency like the OHS became the centerpiece of a global peace effort, and that in turn created the need for a global government with the power to maintain the peace provided by that agency? What if it was so successful that peace was enforced for over a century? Now imagine your world and its people faced with the threat of extinction, and the one thing preventing you from doing something about it was that very same agency. What would you do?

The "Shoals of Time" is about such a world. Except that after the conflict between peacekeeper and revolutionary was reduced to a game of cat and mouse between their leaders, the cheese escaped into the past.
