Crawford Kilian’s third and final entry in his “Chronoplane Wars” trilogy differs considerably from the first two books. Whereas The Empire of Time and its prequel The Fall of the Republic focused on describing the main character of his series within the context of a world facing doomsdays of various stripes, this final book shows him as an AID agent on a mission unrelated to the broader challenges of his assignments. The result is an effective sci-fi thriller, albeit one that left me wondering if Killian ever had any regrets about this series. It's pretty clear that while his first book was intended to be a stand-alone novel, the premise of alternate world policed by an authoritarian future was clearly too rich to remain unexplored. Yet resolving the question of Earth's destruction (the big mystery which drove the establishment of the alternate-worlds empire) seems to have left Killian bereft of stores that lived up to the original. It's a real shame, too, considering the series-driven trend in modern science fiction today, as his premise allowed for a vast range of directions in which he could have gone. Instead we are left with this final novel that shows the possibility of what could have been had Killian not started with the end. ( )
