  • "Llega la esperada conclusión de "El apagón", una bilogía galardonada con los premios más prestigiosos del género. En "El apagón", la gran dama de la ciencia ficción, Connie Willis, envió a tres historiadores de Oxford en el año 2060 a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este trepidante viaje en el tiempo, Michael Davies, Merope Wardy y Polly Churchill quedan atrapados en 1940, intentando sobrevivir a los bombardeos de Hitler y liberar a Londres de su yugo mientras hacen lo posible para encontrar de nuevo el camino de regreso a casa. En "Cese de alerta", la situación se ha hecho aún más grave, y viviremos las consecuencias de aquel periplo en que nuestros protagonistas se vieron atrapados, ya que parece que todos ellos alteraron, de algún modo, el pasado, cambiando el resultado de la guerra y, en consecuencia, el curso de la historia. El emocionante tiempo que se inició en "El apagón" se precipita, en "Case de alerta", hacia una resolución impresionante que sorprenderá incluso al más avezado de los lectores."

  • "Winner of the Nebula AwardTraveling 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. Meanwhile, in 2060 Oxford, the stranded historians' supervisor, Mr. Dunworthy, frantically confronts the seemingly impossible task of..."@en

  • "In Blackout, award-winning author Connie Willis returned to the time-traveling future of 2060--the setting for several of her most celebrated works--and sent three Oxford historians to World War II England: Michael Davies, intent on observing heroism during the Miracle of Dunkirk; Merope Ward, studying children evacuated from London; and Polly Churchill, posing as a shopgirl in the middle of the Blitz. But when the three become unexpectedly trapped in 1940, they struggle not only to find their way home but to survive as Hitler's bombers attempt to pummel London into submission. Now the situation has grown even more dire. Small discrepancies in the historical record seem to indicate that one or all of them have somehow affected the past, changing the outcome of the war. The belief that the past can be observed but never altered has always been a core belief of time-travel theory--but suddenly it seems that the theory is horribly, tragically wrong. Meanwhile, in 2060 Oxford, the historians' supervisor, Mr. Dunworthy, and seventeen-year-old Colin Templer, who nurses a powerful crush on Polly, are engaged in a frantic and seemingly impossible struggle of their own--to find three missing needles in the haystack of history. Told with compassion, humor, and an artistry both uplifting and devastating, All Clear is more than just the triumphant culmination of the adventure that began with Blackout. It's Connie Willis's most humane, heartfelt novel yet--a clear-eyed celebration of faith, love, and the quiet, ordinary acts of heroism and sacrifice too often overlooked by history. From the Hardcover edition."
