Ox and Snake, the first volume in the Improbable Empire series, kind of butted into line while I was writing the Moiraland series. They could not wait to get started and I could not ignore them until their book was done. I thought it was a stand alone novel and was happy with that. I finished up Moiraland and then the boys ambushed me again. Their story was far from over, they claimed. I could only agree since odd scenarios began filling my head. I hope my readers will forgive me for the non-linear order.The Improbable Empire is about the larger environment, it introduces new characters and Ox and Snake move off the center stage as it progresses. My purpose as always is to entertain. I like to set the rules and let the story evolve as naturally as possible. I don't go deep into the science unless it's part of the story. I just posit that people who can invent time travel have most other technology problems solved. The only limits must be their own assumptions and the expectations of others. Those can be formidable limits, just as in our own timeline; if you want to keep your self respect how far can you go? My answer is pretty far. Hope you enjoy Improbable Empire
