Critic reviews

"There have been many tales of parallel worlds, but few have this much heart, imagination, and good old-fashioned storytelling fun."- Steve Pick, radio host and author'

"Pure delight." - The Common Reader

"Must Reading - and then some." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Good story with a (mostly) believable alternate world.

Nice, light, alternate world story. Engaging story that pulled me in and kept me along for the rude. Likeable characters and a pretty believable alternate world to visit. Definitely worth your time!

Excellent!

I loved the story line! It was such a good read!! I can’t wait to read the next one!

Truly great book

What a fun interesting read. I typically don’t read fiction, but this really pulled me in. Identifiable characters, clever plot line that remains engaging throughout the book, and fun for your brain thinking of just the possibilities of what if.

A Fun Journey through Two Worlds

Really enjoyed this one, but I'm always down for parallel universes, alternate histories, or time travel. I think I'd have liked more...a lot of action was crowded into the last hour or so, but all the history and background had to be laid. Being a ham radio op, it was nice to see a nod to my favorite hobby, some inaccuracies notwithstanding. Aside from a couple tiny editing issues...one repeated sentence and a similar repeated phrase a bit later on, I enjoyed the audiobook and the narrators. Looking forward to the next one.

Interesting Alternate Universe Story

This is a really good introduction into an interesting alternate/parallel universe series. (At least, I hope the series continues.) I didn’t totally enjoy the female narrator, but there was nothing distracting in her reading that would detract from the story. I am definitely looking forward to seeing where things go from here.
