Winner of the Nebula Award
Traveling back in time, from Oxford circa 2060 into the thick of
World War II, was a routine excursion for three British historians
eager to study firsthand the heroism and horrors of the Dunkirk
evacuation and the London Blitz. But getting marooned in war-torn
1940 England has turned Michael Davies, Merope Ward, and Polly
Churchill from temporal tourists into besieged citizens struggling
to survive Hitler's devastating onslaught. And now there's more to
worry about than just getting back home: The impossibility of
altering past events has always been a core belief of time-travel
theory--but it may be tragically wrong. When discrepancies in the
historical record begin cropping up, it suggests that one or all of
the future visitors have somehow changed the past--and, ultimately,
the outcome of the war. Meanwhile, in 2060 Oxford, the stranded
historians' supervisor, Mr. Dunworthy, frantically confronts the
seemingly impossible task of rescuing his students--three missing
needles in the haystack of history. The thrilling time-tripping
adventure that began with "Blackout" now hurtles to its stunning
resolution in "All Clear."
