Home / The Bones of Time
This is the first E-book edition of a now classic SF novel. The first print edition appeared in 1996.
PLOT:
Set in Hawaii and the Far East, The Bones of Time revolves around the secret of the preserved bones of the greatest of the old Hawaiian kings, Kamehameha.
Goonan interweaves two story lines. Cen, a mathematician who falls in love with Princess Kaiulani, the last Hawaiian princess, works desperately to join her by solving the riddle of time travel; and Lynn, a young woman who rescues the only surviving clone of Kamehameha.
Praise for THE BONES OF TIME:
."Time travel, Kamehameha's clone and electric Tibet are all conjoined in this marvelous novel. With THE BONES OF TIME, Kathleen Ann Goonan clearly establishes herself as the best writer to enter the field in the 1990's."
- Lucious Sheppard.
"This is science fiction being the best it can possibly be."
- Karen Joy Fowler
". . . a satisfying and richly speculative novel"
