An intriguing read. It was a chase through time, with a new definition for time-travel.
Politics, religion/beliefs and morality come into play while reading it, so it presents an interesting panorama.
The writing was good and the characters well defined (you could hate them with abandon). Beware if you are against open endings, because while you get to choose how to interpret it, one of those lectures could very well be that we are not sure how the continues once the last page is read.
