Book Review of Gunpowder Empire (Crosstime Traffic)

Gunpowder Empire (Crosstime Traffic)
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


Not to quote the synopsis posted on book cover, but two teens and their parents spend time in alternate Roman Empire. circumstances put the teens in charge of themselves while parents return to their reality timeline for a medical emergency.

I'll cut to the chase here. the teens are so rabidly anti fur they practically throw up when they see it. they are also anti-slavery in a world where everyone who can own, does.

I read it and didn't dislike it, but it seemed adolescent Heinlein, with a strong gospel thrown in. I guess if I tried real hard I could envision SW California being this way, but the fact is they had to overcome their phobias in order to avoid some of the suspicion that came their way.
