Marooned in Realtime



  "Marooned in Realtime" is the sequel to "The Peace War", also by Vernor Vinge.  It is not a direct sequel, as we are dealing with new characters, but it is set in the same world.

 This is actually a detective story, mixed in with Vinge's singularity concept, and using time travel(only forward though) as a means to a unique murder investigation.

 The world seen here is after-humans, there are no survives of a nuclear holocaust, just a few lost time travelers with no hope of return.

 Excellent read as are most of Vinge's books.

9.1/10
