Traveling back in time, from Oxford circa 2060 into the thick of World War II, was a routine excursion for three British historians eager to study firsthand the heroism and horrors of the Dunkirk evacuation and the London Blitz. But getting marooned in war-torn 1940 England has turned Michael Davies, Merope Ward, and Polly Churchill from temporal tourists into besieged citizens struggling to survive Hitler’s devastating onslaught. And now there’s more to worry about than just getting back home: The impossibility of altering past events has always been a core belief of time-travel theory—but it may be tragically wrong. When discrepancies in the historical record begin cropping up, it suggests that one or all of the future visitors have somehow changed the past—and, ultimately, the outcome of the war.

Ce bouquin, non mais ce bouquin !

Dans ce second tome, on suit leurs aventures en cette époque, et après celle-ci. Je ne peux tout simplement pas en raconter plus. Parce que même si l'énigme ne se résoud en fait que dans les cent dernières pages, les huit cent autres sont remplies de tentatives plus ou moins réussies pour se sortir de cette pénible situation et qui échoueront ... ou pas, provoqueront des catastrophes temporelles ... ou pas, feront gagner la guerre à Hitler ... ou pas.

Review of 'All Clear' on 'Goodreads'

I really enjoyed this book, both from it's examination of time travel, but also that Ms. Willis does a great job recreating the period of the Blitz for the reader. It's a loca/period of time that I haven't had much exposure to, and am now more interested in. Additionally, I enjoyed her character development for the most part.
