This is part one of the 35th century tales, where Wayne’s team have been sent on a covert mission by the League of Travelers, their 52nd century allies.

The mission:
Bring two mighty empires to a state of total war.

This book covers the period during which Wayne Jamieson is drafted into the Imperial forces, having spent the last forty years as a spacer, pirate, mercenary and lastly- as the commander of a successful privateer Free Company.

After leading a raid that turns the course of a civil war, he is shipped off-planet because of a large price on his head.

On his way back to Old Earth, he manages- by an arranged co-incidence- to get involved in a desperate action with the other main character, Jenny DeVries.

This time they do not have the near-magical gates to help them.

Just the advantage of knowing what was GOING to happen (sometimes) and a few good troops.

The lives of 50,000 citizens of the Empire depend on them.

Review by: Richard Christopher on May 31, 2011 :
Second written, and second chronologically of the Mrddlers In Time series. Like the first, stays on the boundary between homage and fan fic, this time echoing the Weber/Ringo and Niven/Pournelle Empire of Man series. The author has improved his craft from the first book, without losing his eye for good plot.

Review by: Mark C on Feb. 27, 2011 :
The next book in the Meddlers series is more of a novella/short story than a true novel - a shame really, as it could easily have been developed into a very good continuation from book one of the series. Unfortunately the same is true of book three. Perhaps the author will combine books two & three and book four to make a longer, more intracate work. It would certainly make it more enjoyable, and would allow for some movement between adventures - this is a time travel series!

Now to the book - another good read and a good start on the history of the time travellers. It's fun to have interesting storylines and characters explored in greater detail though, so more time on this would have added to the story.

But all is not constructive criticism here! I still very much appreciate the character development and the thrill of the adventure. It takes a creative mind to dream this stuff up and Mr. Watson is indeed creative in dreaming the challenges and soltions.

Book two may not completely satisfy the reader's appetite, but it does serve as an adequate appetizer for book three.
