I had read this as a teenager, and was very interested to find out how it stood up on rereading. It remains rather good – the protagonist is a mid-century American kid with the innate gift of time-travel, which he controls rather better than the husband in The Time-Traveller’s Wife. There’s a lot of politics here, as a white supremacist time-traveller tries to set up a racist principality at the end of time; can he be stopped, given that time appears to be immutably set in its tracks?
This was also the book from which I learned about the Fourth Crusade
Thank you for posting these photos and the video, Nicholas. MeCon was great fun, mostly because of the anarchy of the guests, and what a dream guest-list: Iain Banks; Alistair Reynolds; Ian McDonald; Paul Cornell.
Iain was superb in the session you filmed.
