This Tor omnibus contains two novels by L. E. Modesitt that comprise a larger story unit, Timediver's Dawn and The Timegod (expanded from his first novel, The Fires of Paratime). They were formerly published in mass market original form and are now combined and published together for the first time, in trade paperback. They are somewhat reminiscent of the Change War stories of Fritz Lieber, and although they are science fiction, they contain intriguing connections to the fantasy universe of Modesitt's Recluce novels.

This is SF adventure in time and space, full of action and drama and big ideas.
