Entertainment Weekly!
The following review of Here, There & Everywhere appears in the April 22 issue of Entertainment Weekly, of all places! Man, the publicity folks at Pyr/Prometheus really earn their salaries, don't they?
--------------
Here, There & Everywhere
Chris Roberson
(Prometheus, $15)
Young Roxanne Bonaventure receives a powerful bracelet that opens bridges to branching and often divergent time lines--her actions in the past don't change the future.
Story's Little Helper: She names the bracelet Sofia, Greek for wisdom, since "these early Christian guys called the Gnostics worshipped Sofia almost like a goddess...."
Upshot: Roberson's irreverent alternate histories of the Beatles, Sherlock Holmes, and H.G. Wells are a welcome stitch in the age-old time-travel tradition.
Grade: B
