I'm reading Pillers of the Earth right now, have you heard of it?
I've heard of it, a great work, but haven't read it.
My novel isn't of that type. In his legitimate duties, my protagonist doesn't usually spend more than a day in one place/time -- he's assigned to go in, see what actually happened (or didn't happen), and get out without being noticed. That's for ethical reasons.
He's set up housekeeping in the past to use as a staging area for illicit activities, but he's still insulated from the locals because he just doesn't like being around them. Getting involved with the politics of the age isn't his bag.
Just something to share . . .
