"Greek gods are posing as humans and pulling humanity's strings in this mosaic novel about time travel, alternate worlds, and the making of a president. The Time Rangers, Apollo's chosen servants, are in charge of preserving the peace and harmony along the Time Stream, the pathway between various worlds and times, but Apollo has given them a new task--to protect Timothy Macauley, the chosen one who must become the president of the United States or else witness the destruction of humankind. Standing in the Rangers's way are other gods: Mercury, who's working his wiles in the world of public relations; Diana, cruising New York City in the guise of an NYPD detective; Pluto, who is in the process of grooming his successor; and Dionysus, who has caused the annihilation of an alternate world. Nonstop action keeps the story rolling from the 1950s to the present day, through this world and others. Includes a brand new story about the Time Rangers"--… (more)

The author describes this work as a "mosaic novel". It's lots of pieces of stories mixed together to form some kind of whole. Sometimes this works, but this time - not so much. It may have been my faulty attention span, but I lost track of everyone and couldn't figure out what was supposed to be going on. I got irritated by the whole thing by about 1/2 way through, but soldiered on to the end. Oh yeah, it was about gods and the mortals working for them (I think) trying to change timelines to avoid a disastrous future, or at least make sure their timeline didn't go that way. ( )
