Description:

From Booklist

As the second, but surely not the last, Chronicle of Solace opens, the planet Solace's terraforming is beginning to break down. Oskar De Silvo, who began it, is supposed to be dead but actually is in a combination of stasis and cryogenic suspension to prolong his existence so that he can be at hand to prevent disaster. Meanwhile, Anton Koffield, formerly of the Chronologic Patrol, is using all his knowledge of timeshaft travel and a hijacked and disguised starship to deal with a personal enemy. So dealing, he discovers that De Silvo's knowledge may hold the key to saving Earth from a disaster that occurred many centuries ago. He travels through a timeshaft wormhole back to Earth of the early third millennium. At the end of more than 400 pages, Koffield has just gotten into position to save Earth. The action, characters, and technology are sufficiently absorbing to make this book thoroughly readable. Again Allen has mixed hard science, social science, and pure adventure effectively.
