John Barnes's ingenious science fiction saga the Timeline Wars reaches a breathtaking climax in Caesar's Bicycle as former Pittsburgh private investigator-turned-Crux Op agent Mark Strang pursues the alien Closer enemy to a new battleground: an alternate ancient Rome of Caesar and Pompey. Strang's investigation into the disappearance of a fellow ATN operative has carried him along a new timeline to a Roman Empire at once strikingly similar and remarkably different from the one recalled in history books on his own Earth.

And this time, Strang's mission carries a new urgency, for the timelines are becoming dangerously unstable and mysteriously starting to close. To prevent the total enslavement of every one of the million Earths, Strang himself will now have to make history. But by ensuring that an infamous assassination actually does take place, Mark Strang could be condemning himself to the most horrible death the Romans ever devised.… (más)

It pains me to give this book only 3 stars because I really enjoyed this series immensely, but frankly, this is a rather weak ending to a great series -- the first two books were pretty awesome -- and it leaves a lot of loose ends that needed tying up, and I'm ticked the author didn't do that. Perhaps he intended to write a fourth book at some point, but obviously never did. In other books, we've seen characters like George Washington, but in this one, it's Julius Caesar. He's an interesting character, and not such a bad guy. Still, bicycles? I found myself irritated a number of times in and with the book, which is never a good sign, but I still enjoyed the overall premise of the book and the series, so it's all basically good. With this book dragging it down, I'd give the series 4 out of 5 stars. This book gets only 3. This one is recommended for those who have read the first two, but if you find this as good as the first two, I'll be surprised. The series itself is definitely recommended! ( )
