“I buy the new book and devour it as soon as it comes out each time. These books are Y/A books so they are quick and easy reads but I love the story premise and enjoy watching the characters develop and change. This is a great series for all ages, not just teens.”

“This book is probably my favorite of Heinlein's Juveniles. I re-read it every couple years or so.”

“A science outpost finds themselves to be apparently the only remaining seat of government in the USA after an invasion by an expansionist country and hatches a daring plan to retake the country.
This is one of my all time favorite books. I loved the way the protagonists thought outside the box and refused to give up. ”

“This author is the alter-ego of C.E. Murphy, the fantasy novelist and I had to read it just for that. Now, while these aren't fantasy books I would have to say she does the Alias type character well too. I enjoyed these books, though not quite as much as I enjoyed the Fantasy novels she has written. Lots of action and, though there is sexual tension, not a whole lot of actual sex so this should appeal to both action/suspense fans as well as romance fans. One other thing I should point out is that this romance IS a trilogy so they don't get to the "happily ever after" part until the third book, which is unusual for romances. This is book 1 of the trilogy.”

“I just got done reading this and what a fascinating book. The ending was a bit bittersweet though. The story works on several different levels. There is the level of the guy who roams time with no control whatsoever and that is interesting enough but add to that the story of a love that was meant to be and her point of view and how they deal with his meanderings....
Very unique and well written story that could appeal to readers outside the fantasy genre.

“This is a great read. Lots of fun action and a romance aspect as a secondary storyline but without mush. This author is one to watch. There are currently 2 more books in this series and more in the works and the author just published the start of a new series as well, though it is not yet on the Shelfari list.
Can't get enough of C.E. Murphy? Try looking for Cate Dermody, She has a trilogy out under that pen name. Not fantasy but worth reading for those who like romances.”

“Another of my all time favorites. I think I was 10 when I first read this. It took me years to find the rest because they were out of print. Now you can find them at any reasonable bookstore, or at least order them lol.

“I first read this book when I was about 8 or 9 (though admittedly some aspects of the story went completely over my head ). It has been one of my favorites ever since. The whole series is fantastic but this one will always be my favorite of the series.
I do not know how many times I have read it.”
