A beautifully written tale of humanity, history and hope, ''The Outcasts of Time'' is an immensely impressive read from historian Ian Mortimer, and a tale that educates, entertains, and touches the reader. Both a journey through time and a journey through what makes a man, ''The Outcasts of Time'' is well worth a read. Many thanks to the publishers for the copy, and for further reading I recommend [[The Silvered Heart by Katherine Clements]], another book that combines historical detail with strong characters and a rip roaring plot – to brilliant effect.
