When history's darkest day becomes a battlefield across time itself...On September 11th, the Shadow strikes at six critical moments in history—all sharing the same date, different years. The Time Patrol must deploy simultaneously to prevent catastrophic changes that could unravel everything.Eagle pilots a Russian fighter as a massive cargo plane carrying the world's most powerful bomb vanishes into the Arctic. Doc faces a secret peace treaty that could prevent American independence. Moms confronts her own ancestor at the Mountain Meadows massacre. Roland battles monsters from another timeline in ancient Germania at the battle of the Tuetoberg Forest. Ivar must rescue a psychic boy from a bloody coup in Chile. And Scout infiltrates Pakistan on a mission that history says never happened—wearing the identity of the Cellar's deadliest operative.Six missions. One day. Multiple timelines converging.Each mission stands alone as history unfolds, but together they reveal a terrifying pattern. The Shadow is learning, adapting, and targeting the Time Patrol itself. Ancient conspiracies, nuclear weapons, massacres, and battles—all pivoting on September 11th across the centuries.From NY Times bestselling author Bob Mayer comes the most complex Time Patrol mission yet. If any agent fails, our present ceases to exist. If they all succeed, they'll discover why this date has always been cursed by fate.Some dates are written in blood. This is one of them.Perfect for fans of Kearsley, Gabaldon, and Blake Crouch, Nine Eleven delivers six interconnected military thrillers spanning ancient Rome to modern warfare, united by one impossible question: How do you protect history when the past itself is under attack?
Interesting and informative.The narrative pulls the reader forward with no break in the action until each story is resolved. There is no denouement in the traditional sense as the interconnected stories could conceivably stand alone, but would need a huge bulky explanation without the other stories that serve as plot lines and additional explanation that drags the reader into this otherwise is believable premise. Deft use of many advanced story telling techniques are combined to tie the whole in
Fantastical historical storiesWhile this story didn't seem to interface as much with "The Shadow", it's presence was a factor, although it was as though the plot necessitated a mention more so than it had anything on it's own agenda.I like Bob Mayer's historical references as well as the way he integrates the story line with actually teaching us about those particular events.
Taut action-adventureMayer brings his trademark interwoven plotlines and well-drawn characters to his Time Patrol series. Mayer has made himself one of my new addictions. His historical depth reminds me of the late great Poul Anderson.
