Sea Spray

Time Box, Book 3

By: John A. Heldt

Narrated by: Roberto Scarlato

From the author of The Lane Betrayal and The Fair comes the third novel in the Time Box saga.

Months after stealing two time machines from a madman who wants them back, the Lanes, a family of seven, seek peace and safety in 1927, the latest stop on a journey through time. For a while, each succeeds.

Parents Mark and Mary find housing in affluent East Hampton, New York, where a gracious elderly couple offers use of their mansion. Son Jordan and his new wife, Jessie, plan a family. Siblings Laura, Jeremy, and Ashley pursue fun and adventure. All form strong friendships with the Prices, a mysterious mirror-image family that lives next door.

Billionaire Robert Devereaux could not care less. Reeling from the theft of his million-dollar devices, he sends a hit man to the past to retrieve his property and rid the world of his former business partner and his troublesome clan.

Randy Taylor, who programs the machines, is determined to stop him. He tries to undermine his boss and save the Lanes, even as he tries to help his mother beat a deadly illness. He pines for the day he can join his fugitive friends and rekindle a promising relationship with Laura Lane.

Filled with romance, humor, and heartbreak, Sea Spray follows a modern family on the adventure of a lifetime as they navigate their way through the exciting and often dangerous world of Lindbergh, Gershwin, and Fitzgerald.

excellent

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Another great Time Box book

Heldt tells an outstanding story in Sea Spray, the third book in the Time Box Series. I have read most of what Heldt has written. I like Heldt's writing style and the timeless time travel theme in whatever book he writes. He put the Time Box book series on audio, and that was a grand decision on his part. This author brings the stories and the different eras to life. I must say that time travel is just part of the story, and the family and family dynamic is the biggest part of it. His characters have depth, and minds of their own. Stolen time machines, life in a time long since passed, and even new relationships, but that is just the beginning. There's something to be said for living, literally, in the past. The Lanes are an incredible real family, with not just time issues, but family relationships and secrets. I loved this book. The stories just keep getting better and better. Reading this, you can tell the time Heldt put into knowing the time eras where the Lanes land, and it pulls the listener in that time, right there with them. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. This book deserves a second listen! (and maybe more). Heldt is one of my favorite authors that I review for, and his imagination is so full, I hope there will be more stories other than the Time Box series, that he puts on audiobooks. I did read the print version of the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook. This narration really brought this story to life. Sea Spray on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book, to also write a review.
