Forced Perspectives is a 2020 contemporary fantasy novel by Tim Powers. It is the second of a series in which the protagonists are Sebastian Vickery and Ingrid Castine, following Alternate Routes and followed by Stolen Skies.Following their supernatural experiences in the first novel, Vickery and Castine have acquired an ability to see briefly into the past. Lately, though, it's been going wrong: any time one of them tries to use it, and increasingly even when they don't, what they see is a vision of a decrepit house down by the ocean. Something terrible happened there fifty years ago, and now somebody's trying to make sure it happens again — and they mean for Vickery and Castine to have central roles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Blasting It Out of Their Hands | |
| Forced Perspectives / int_4cbc7f95 | comment |
Blasting It Out of Their Hands: Vickery shoots a gun out of the hand of the bad guy who's shooting at him, because it's the only part of the gunman he can see clearly and he doesn't want to kill him anyway. It's noted that the gunman's hand is seriously injured by having the gun blasted out of it, and remains a handicap for the rest of the book. | |

Assimilation Plot | |
| Forced Perspectives / int_b89d9f13 | comment |
Assimilation Plot: The villains are using ancient magic to create a Hive Mind that, once established, will proceed to suck in the entire human race. The people involved in the plot (and the earlier failed attempts that preceded it) vary in their motivations; some of them genuinely believe it will make the world a better place, some have more selfish intentions, and some just find themselves hard to live with and want a way to escape a burden of guilt or depression. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy | |
| Forced Perspectives / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The dancing plague of 1518, the destruction of the standing sets for The Ten Commandments (1923), and the Sunken City catastrophe were all fallout from earlier failed attempts at the same kind of Assimilation Plot the villain is about to pull off. | |
