As William the Conqueror's men attempt to stamp out the flames of rebellion, a prophecy is uttered. A bedraggled woman in a ruined chapel speaks of civilizations in conflict, armed by the engines of God
And that prophecy proves to be true as the fearsome war between Christianity and Islam leaves its mark across the land. In Spain, a rogue priest dreams of the final defeat of Islam, for he has found a rent in the tapestry of time, a point where agents from the future used diabolical weapons of destruction to change history. Centuries later, in 1492, as men of vision weary of the strife and are drawn to the unknown West, one such explorer seeks the funding for his voyage- while a mysterious Weaver plots to unravel the strands of time and stop him.
EDITORIAL :
From Publishers Weekly
The engrossing third Time's Tapestry novel (after Emperor and Conqueror) from Philip K. Dick Award–winner Baxter focuses on Christianity's reconquest of Spain from the Moors between A.D. 1070 and 1492. This conflict is reflected in the struggle between the English and Spanish branches of a family, both of which have received mysterious prophecies and coded instructions containing designs for weapons that could give one side power to annihilate the other. The characters' beliefs and passions shape events, but they don't know how much they have been manipulated by competing tempters from the future. By book's end, two forces emerge to debate whether Christopher Columbus will be given ships to sail west or an army to lead east in an apocalyptic war against Islam. Baxter understands how a craving for beauty and knowledge can become ghastly fana
REVIEW :
What an amazing and inspiring story. Brand names are given, which makes it easier to find what you need.
The sky is really the limit on wigs. What strikes me about reading a story before it exists, especially this one, is I'm reading a story that has always existed. This book is more than just junk (although it has a glorious amount of that,) but it is a story of family. They are a grassroots campaign for the dreamer in all of us, knowing when to work hard and when to throw glitter in the air and celebrate. Brody's epiphany did not have that feel for me. These girls and their family are a dreamer's #goals, they don't just take what comes at them for opportunity, but they stay true to themselves and the brand they have created in favor of someone or something that might compromise for the sake of "fame". Still, I have enjoyed having this source of information on such widely ran
