...Saves Nine
About
Change, they say, is inevitable but if you're a time-traveler, change can be catastrophic.
Sean Kelly is thrilled when his multiple-great grandson gives him the opportunity to hang out with his own teenage dad and his far out friends in 1969. (Although the sleepy town of Mercer, Iowa is a far cry from Haight-Ashbury.)
The local oldsters aren't hip to the younger generation's long hair and wild music, especially the town cop, causing Sean to experience some unexpected culture clash.
Time Travel rules get tested when Sean develops feelings for his dad's groovy gal-pal, and he faces a life-or-death decision that could have huge repercussions when he returns to 1995.
Will Sean's ever-logical descendant regret bringing him into Jonathan Kelly's wannabe flower-child world, or will Peace, Love, and Understanding prevail in the end?
Praise for this book
Quite often a sequel seems to be rushed and isn't as good as the first book. This second effort in the 'Time Will Tell' series shines all on it's own and is much better than the first book. Sean convinces his five-great grandson to take him back in time to meet his father. What could go wrong? In true 'time paradox' form, the answer is: everything. The way the two of them resolve metaphorical suicide is a first in any time travel book I have ever read. Kudos to the author for originality.
The author has done an excellent job building the two main characters from book one as Alex becomes a little more human and Sean becomes a little less of a dick. The addition of a third character, Jane, sends the story in a welcome direction that makes me impatient to get to the next episode.
Lucky for me I got on this ride late enough that the third book has already been published and I don't have to wait.
