Read it many times. It remains my favorite book, despite reading hundreds. Imagine the world reversed. The Americas conquering the Eastern world. The ultimate what-if Europeans hadn't found the "New World" combined with time travel, history, excellent character development, deep and meaningful thought provoking plot...It's just too awesome to do it justice.

Another of my favorites. This book just goes to show how even the small things can change a future, for good or for bad, and that history is where we should all look to protect the future. Great read!
