More like this

Stephen Baxter's Time's Tapestry sequence imagines a version of history repeatedly altered by messages sent back through time by a sect trying to change Rome's fate, with each novel following the ripple effects across a different era of British and world history. Emperor opens the sequence in Roman-era Britain, and the alternate timeline compounds across the following three novels before a concluding volume gathers the whole arc. It was published across the mid-to-late 2000s as one continuous four-book story.
