I will be honest here, I love the Department of Temporal Investigations books. I love how dense they can be, and how carefully Christopher L. Bennett constructed the theoretical framework for his time-travel stories. I will review the first books at some point, but this is the most recent one.

It build up on the previous two books, and tells an interesting story that is basically a tale of espionage. One reason I love this series is that it doesn't revolve around Starfleet. To many people equate the Federation with what we see of it in their exploratory/military reserve organisation, because that is all we get. This book directly references this confusion in a brilliant way.

I really recommend this one, it is a great continuation of the series, but you will want to read at least the first two books of the series first, to understand the underlying ideas...

I liked the story although I thought it was a bit of a soft ending.
