Oxford Time Travel Series

If you haven't read any Willis, you are a total fail at science fiction street cred. Willis has won more major awards than any other science fiction writer – ever! She has won 11 Hugos and 8 Nebulas. Her Time Travel series features the superb novel Doomsday Book, as well as To Say Nothing Of The Dog, and Blackout/All Clear. Her short story Fire Watch is also part of this series. She's kind of mean in the sense that she likes to pop reader's bubbles. This series features history students at the University of Oxford, England, time traveling to critical points in history. In fact, her mastery of history coupled to science will smack you around like she's the cat and you are the bell in the little plastic ball. Ouch. Swat. Give me more, I hate you. Don't just take my word for it. Read the books!
