In a far distant future scientists from three time periods separated by hundreds of thousands of years, are confounded by an indestructible canal that spans the American continent. In the most distant of these periods a religious war is brewing. A vast army of zealots have discovered a weapon so powerful that not only could it lead to the extinction of humanity, but could very well unravel the fabric of the universe itself. In each period, science teams are attempting to uncover the secrets of the canal and its apparently empty structure at its west end. They believe that by learning the secrets of this structure they can confront the evils of political and religious zealotry and save humankind from self-immolation. As with all Modesitt novels, it is a complicated, deep tale, populated by people so real they could be your next door neighbor. And Modesitt spares no words in the telling of it. Its perspective is panoramic, yet the scenes are so distinctly personal: flawless in their presentation. This is not a light read, but it was hard for me to tear myself away nonetheless. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The lives and fates of three civilizations separated in time become intertwined as the forces behind an indestructible and massive canal 2,000 miles long and spanning the mid-continent of Earth react to a plot to overthrow the world government, and three teams of scientists find their lives changed beyond belief.

I am vaguely curious about how it will all turn out and what the Norse references were, and there were some interesting & original ideas, so I might go back & finish it someday. ( )
