The Life of the World to Come by Kage Baker



This Company novel starts with Mendoza deep in the past, but then shifts to the twenty-third century for the most part. The future is both familiar and unfamiliar, with what was then illegal being interesting. I thought the characters I christened The Three Nerds most amusing, and yet they were understandable people still.

The dual view of the same incident was very interesting and enlightening about the the two characters involved. I recomend this novel highly, and it could be read without having read any previous Company series novels.

The Life of the World to COme first published 2004
