Kathleen Ann Goonan burst into prominence with "Queen City Jazz,"
the start of her Nanotech Quartet. "The Bones of Time," her widely
acclaimed second novel, was a finalist for the Arthur C. Clarke
Award in 2000. "In War Times "is deeply satisfying SF. Sam, the
protagonist, is a young enlisted man in 1941 when his older brother
Keenan is killed at Pearl Harbor. Seduced by a mysterious woman,
Sam gives her plans for a device that will end not just the war,
but perhaps even the human predilection for war. Sam spends his war
years trying to construct the device and discovers only later that
it worked. Sam falls in love with a spy, and they both become
involved in preventing the JFK assassination in the 1960s. Over the
decades it becomes deeply meaningful that his world is strangely
transformed by the enigmatic device.
