The Lilliput Legion
Book 9 of the Time Wars series is kind of weak. In addition to the cross-dimensional war and the recurring bad guy who has been wreaking havoc in the series, the Temporal Corps now has to deal with a trans-temporal mafia. Basically, General Forrester, the leader of the Corps, who has assumed leadership of the Temporal Intelligence Agency, has discovered a group within that organization called "The Network". The Network is involved in all sorts of illegal activities and Gen. Forrester tries to shut them down. The Network attempts to retaliate using infiltration, deadly weapons and six-inch commandos called, you guessed it, Lilliputians. That, and a gent named Lemuel Gulliver, are the only elements common to Swift's classic book. Instead you get lots of gun fights, explosions and some ongoing story development. Oh, well, nobody bats a thousand. The book isn't horrible, but really isn't the best of waiting room material either.
