Good fictional book covering Anglo-Saxon England in several parts, each a few hundred years apart. Like the first book in the series, there is a 'prophesy' that traces the course of the book, with the theory that some future person has sent this prophesy back in time to control the past.
Annoying the prophesy, right at the very start, refers to an "Aryan empire", which makes you immediately think that the end of book №4 is going to have nazis. I'm a bit annoyed at the author for sorta spoiling that.
Like the first book, you get a gimpse into England at each step, and you can see how things have changed, from them calling themselves Saxons/Germans, to English. Likewise in each bit, it has characters musing about what could have happened if a certain battle/event had gone another way, which makes the reader think of possible alternative history stories.

In the second book of of Time's Tapestry, I'm starting to see what we're in for: it's a guided tour of English history. With that in mind, I think this book improves on the problems of Emperor, having more convincing dialogue.
