Perfection

The Dance of Time is the sixth and final installment in the Belisarius saga from Eric Flint and David Drake. The overall premise is an advanced futuristic AI sent back in time to the sixth century to change the course of history and ensure the success of the Malwa empire. Another AI is sent to Belisarius, a famous Roman general of that era, to thwart those plans. Many alliances and strategies that Belisarius has been working on in previous installments come together, including the ‘kidnapping’ of a former foe’s family to ensure their safety as the Malwa empire begins to implode. In addition, Belisarius must ensure that the Malwa AI cannot resort to its past trick of transferring to another host.

Flint and Drake execute a masterful piece of storytelling combining advancements in military as well as other technologies (e.g. antibiotics), along with sophisticated military maneuvers, as well as complex alliances arranged by Belisarius and his wife.

The narration continues the excellent rendition with solid character distinction. Pacing is smooth.
