Building on her previous book, No Way Home, author Christy Cooper-Burnett, finds another hit in the latest novel, Finding Home. The same main characters appear again but with a little different twist.
They are not just shipped without some training or just dropped off in a previous timeline. There is a minimal amount of training along with vaccinations against all the known diseases of the era. Additionally, the person being transported is given period clothing to fit in and some beginning health supplies like MREs and clean water as well as a vial of antibiotics.
This story is a bit different that the first which was quite adventuresome with transporter malfunctions and the transporter being stranded for a long time in Oklahoma in the mid-19th century. Being there so long she develops some friendships and survives. Another time jump back to medieval England rounds out that story.
Nothing quite as dramatic this time but the transportee commits a crime to be deliberately sent back and enlists one of the transporters to help. So off she goes to Oklahoma with a jealous husband who is a cop on her trail even through time. What happens is entertaining and suspenseful.
Forgot to throw in that there is also a love story developing back in
Oklahoma and this somewhat complicates the rest of the plot-line
. But with these various threads,
Cooper-Burnett ties them together in an entertaining story in the second novel
in her time-travel series. A third novel
is also in the works called Escaping Home, expected in late 2021.
Not normally a fan of love stories, this one as well as the first grabbed my attention – perhaps due to the science fiction aspect. I really enjoyed reading about Cyber Criminal Enforcement Agent Christine Stewart who liven in 2071 Los Angeles and her adventures moving back and forth through time.
