In the Garden of Iden by Kage BakerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Part of my 2020 Social Distancing Read-a-thon
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
An enjoyable time travel romp with a twist, namely the shaping of the present through a clever plan—immortal servants created in the past by the time travelling folk. Baker combines time travel and immortality in an interesting way, obviously having given the possibilities inherent in time travel some serious thought.
I was intrigued by the immortals and their feeling that they aren't human any more. Rather like vampires in other fantasy fiction. Mendoza certainly learns about remaining neutral in this first book. I'll be happy to read her further adventures in the next Company book.
Book number 359 of my Science Fiction & Fantasy Reading Project
