Last month we welcomed the paperback publication of Connie Willis' Blackout (9780345519832); now we greet the well-tuned conclusion of her time-travel duology. In the first novel, three Oxford historians from 2060 slipped back into the war-torn world of 1940 England. Sent to observe behavior of the period, the trio becomes convinced that they might have inadvertently resteered present and future history on a very damaging new course. All Clear sounds an alarm that is anything but reassuring. Meanwhile, back in 2060, the historians' supervisor and one of his young students begin a corrective mission of their own.

I was reading this on my phone so I can definitively say that nothing new happened in this book until 67% through, and by then I had pretty much guessed the twists, but at least it was more interesting to read to the end with actual plot.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so sad to leave a set of characters behind. After spending more than 1,000 pages with them between All Clear and its predecessor Blackout, most of it set during the Blitz of London with lots of high tension twists and turns, heartaches and triumphs, I feel like we’ve bee...
Just like the first book in this series Blackout, this was fascinating. However, I don't appreciate sad stories and though that wasn't all there was to the book, this one was definitely sad. Of course I understand that that goes with the territory when you read a book about the war, but still.
2/18/13 ** Great ending, slow in the first half, tempting me to skip ahead. Excellent mystery, with many intertwined threads. Now I want to re-read to see what hints I missed, but don't want to commit to 1200+ pages!
