Pollution and technology have overwhelmed the population; people are abandoning urban neighbourhoods for apartment enclaves; a new STD is claiming lives. Tensens Virus affects transsexuals, bonding with their body chemistry to induce a lethal allergic reaction in anyone who has sex with a carrier. Tensens carriers are demonized. Even those profiled with the same hormone mix come under attack. Believing himself to be a descendant of the Iceni, thirty-year-old pre-op transsexual, Cean Rowan, always felt an obsessive connection to Boadicea. Leading a rebellion against the Roman invasion in 61 A.D. she united British tribes to better far superior Roman forces, but two mistakes ultimately caused the defeat of her people, and cost her life. When Cean and his genetically profiled friends become targeted by increasingly absurd government measures, hate crime and prejudice from strangers and colleagues alike, he realises something has to be done. Making friends with Leogold Fortesque, a scientist who is researching the possibilities of time travel, the perfect solution appears. What if Cean could go back to prevent Boudiceas death and change the very course of history to alter his time as well..'… (más)

I really wanted to like this book. I was excited about a trans* protagonist, I like time travel. But this was just so disappointing that I had to stop halfway through.

The time travel story didn't work for me, but fans of Druidic history or Boadicea herself might enjoy it. The ultimate stumbling block I had was the depiction of Cean, the main character. An out, transitioning male-to-female trans person, the narration and all characters continually refer to Cean as "he," with no explanation. While I appreciate everyone's right to choose their own pronouns, the lack of explanation for why Cean would choose "he" made me very uncomfortable as I read this book. Added to two seemingly unrelated stories (the future world and the time travel), flat characters with motivations that didn't make a lot of internal sense and a lack of pace, I had to put this down unfinished.
