This book grabbed me right at the start and didn't let me go until we were done. Varley has done a great job of characterization here, and used the gimmick of time travel to tell a fun mystery-in-two-parts story. Two parts, because there's one thread of consciousness told from the perspective of a 1980s airline accident inspector, and one thread from a time-travel agent 40,000 years in the future.
