Winge?d Chariot

The book begins with a body plunging from a balcony in the Home Time where murder is supposed to be a thing of the past. The story ranges from here, a thousand years into the future, back across the past in a lively interweaving of time and plot. Meetings with the world's great thinkers, some king of illicit trade between scientists of the near and far-off future, a death that seems like a murder, the everyday workings of the Home Time and a group of disparate characters are all combined in good old-fashioned mystery style. All the various strands are finally brought together in a very satisfying way. With its twists and turns, chases and fights this is a substantial, intriguing, well-told and thought-provoking story which keeps you guessing right up to the end.
