DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat are the critics saying?Gauthier jampacks his story with plot and character details. The 23rd-century storyline proves the most remarkable. Loganus is a green-blooded chlorohuman whose body gets most of its energy from the sun, and his xenobiologist mother lab-created an intelligent, tentacled being that communicates telepathically. This SF outing mixes in a solid historical tale with the recruits' different eras and passing years. For example, Kevin becomes a Marine fighting in Afghanistan, and Miriam takes a harrowing sea journey to America as the Indian Wars rage. Still, the SF element remains prominent; one character faces an unfortunate fate, which may change if the trio stops the development of SR232. While the alternating time periods and the recruits' trading first-person narration generate a brisk pace . . .Gauthier writes with panache, as when time-traveling Kevin tries to remain incognito in 2021: "I walked to the edge of the platform and noticed a lone fisherman in a flat bottom skiff with an electric lantern hanging out over the water. He reeled in a fish, unhooked it, and dropped it into his boat. But then he looked straight at me and the Dream Wheel." The ending, considering all that unfolds, offers a surprising resolution. Futuristic and historical plots collide in this engaging, . . . time-hopping tale.-- Kirkus Reviews
