And each one is different in tone. It starts with the short story Fire Watch, then The Doomsday Book, To Say Nothing of the Dog, and then Blackout/All Clear (was supposed to be one book, but got too long and was turned into two). Each book focuses on a different main character, but you will have appearances by characters from previous books pop up in later books. They don't read like time travel books really, because you can only go into the past, and she does meticulous research on the historical periods she uses. The time travel premise is fairly simple too. It's like a good Brandon Sanderson hard magic system. Here are the "rules" for how time travel works. By the end of the book, they find out something new about how it actually works. The Doomsday Book might be one of the best books I have ever read. A good pandemic read <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
