"Paul Levinson has outdone himself: "The Plot to Save Socrates" is a philosophically rich gem full of big ideas and wonderful time-travel tricks. Science-fiction fans will, of course, love it, but this cracking-good yarn should have lots of out-of-genre appeal, too." --Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of "Hominids" and "Mindscan" "Paul Levinson's "The Plot to Save Socrates" ties complicated knots in time while always keeping its plot moving at a sprightly pace and occasionally finding time to raise a cheer or two for democracy, the necessity of critical thought and the virtue of perseverance in the cause of progress. It proves that excellent entertainment can and ought to be intellectually respectable--a glorious example to us all." --Brian Stableford "This is a dazzling performance, simultaneously propounds and explodes the issue of time paradox. . . .History as science fiction; science fiction as history." --Barry N. Malzberg, "Paul Levinson has outdone himself:The Plot to Save Socratesis a philosophically rich gem full of big ideas and wonderful time-travel tricks.

Synopsis
Paul Levinson's astonishing new SF novel is a surprise and a delight: In the year 2042, Sierra, a young graduate student in Classics is shown a new dialog of Socrates, recently discovered, in which a time traveler tries to argue that Socrates might escape death by travel to the future! Thomas, the elderly scholar who has shown her the document, disappears, and Sierra immediately begins to track down the provenance of the manuscript. The trail leads her to a time machine in a gentlemen's club in London and in New York, and into the past--and to a time traveler from her future, posing as Heron of Alexandria in 150 AD. Complications, mysteries, travels, and time loops proliferate as Sierra tries to discern who is planning to save the greatest philosopher in human history, or to do so herself. And she finds that time travel raises more questions than it answers. Fascinating historical characters from Alcibiades (of the honeyed thighs) and Appleton, the great 19th century American publisher, to Socrates himself appear. With surprises in every chapter, Paul Levinson has outdone himself in The Plot to Save Socrates ., The paradoxes associated with time travel are the backdrop to this tale of intrigue & suspense. Sierra and Max stumble upon a time machine and journey back to Ancient Athens. Someone from a more distant future is plotting to save the philosopher Socrates from execution., Paul Levinson's astonishing new SF novel is a surprise and a delight: In the year 2042, Sierra, a young graduate student in Classics is shown a new dialog of Socrates, recently discovered, in which a time traveler tries to argue that Socrates might escape death by travel to the future!
