Dear Sir Arthur C. Clarke, As a Poul Anderson fan, I enjoyed your collaborative novel Time’s Eye with Stephen Baxter. Not that Anderson has a monopoly on time travel / alternate history books and ideas, but some of his strongest works are in this sub-genre.

This one reminded me of Anderson’s, and it was also reminiscent of Philip Jose Farmer’s, with the eclectic blend of historic folks from divergent times. I also enjoyed the references to your Dear Sir Arthur C.

I also enjoyed the references to your wonderful books and. There were also mysterious elements of your award winning work. You are a literary icon, a legend in your genre, one of the “Big Three” with Asimov and Heinlein. You’re a Knight and I’m just a little dude in the relative backwater of Tennessee. But I have a question, Sir Arthur: Who can I blame?

Was it you, great though you are, getting a little long in the tooth, maybe slipping a little, and who could blame you? You were 90 when you passed on, still working, still contributing creatively and being productive!

But really, who can I throw this rock at, you or Baxter? If it was him, just say, maybe just a shrug, quick nod, I’ll understand. Who was responsible for the raging discontinuity, the loose ends, and the unfulfilled promise of a great idea?

My thought about this “collaboration” was that Baxter did all the heavy lifting and you chimed in from Sri Lanka, directing the excavation and supervised the project. Can we blame Baxter or did you the aging Jedi lead your Padawan astray? This could have been great, might have been, perhaps should have been, but over here in the States we play a game called baseball, and when you’re calling balls and strikes you call ‘em like you see ‘em, and this was not great, it was just OK. Still like you a lot, and I’m sure on any other project Mr. Baxter is a damn fine writer and collaborator. No hard feelings. It is not an accident that I am only now getting to this trilogy.

Though I enjoyed, that collaboration felt primarily like a sexed up re-exploration of themes Arthur C. Clarke explored more poignantly in his masterpiece. Then I recently enjoyed a short story Baxter authored using Clarke's ideas. Realizing I liked Baxter’s writing style on its own merits, I decided to give the Time Odyssey trilogy a go.

The mixing of different historical periods is fascinating. Mystery builds as the ensemble hypothesizes about the possible reasons why space and time have been rearranged in Rubik’s Cube fashion. Also, there is a richness to this book’s narrative that I grant is often lacking in Clarke’s writing. However, Baxter’s copious insertion of historical research periodically bogs down the story.

And here I think this novel could have benefited from some of the leanness of Clarke’s style. Easily making up for the above criticism is the authors’ clever exploration of how ancient cultures might view modern people and technology. I’ll simply say that when Russian cosmonauts come in contact with Genghis Kahn’s Mongol warriors, the latter are not universally wowed by space-age technology. In general, I enjoy Mr. Baxter’s ability to take Arthur C.

Clarke’s decades-old scientific notions and revamp them via the best and most tantalizing research of the early 21st century. This is not a parasitic spin-off (as I feared it might be). Lastly, I enjoyed many instances of homage to, especially late in the book. For me, there is a sense of home in Clarke’s far-reaching themes regarding time, space and mind.
