June 19, 2003: If you loved the movie 'The Thirteenth Warrior' and really hated that the King died (although what a glorious death!), read this book. A female time-travel cop/warrior is given the assignment to go back in time and save the Vikings, with no restrictions. Using modern weapons & skills, hopping from the past to the future, trying to resist her attraction to King, she starts a train of events that impact lives in both time periods. The King is not only the ultimate warrior but very intelligent and, once he finds out that she's not sent by the gods, decides immediately that he has finally met his Queen, but how can he capture and keep such an independent woman? Funny, violent, lots of sex and conflict. My best guy friend really enjoyed the book too, with it's obvious parallels to the movie. Highly entertaining futuristic sci-fi romance.

January 16, 2003: Saviour in time by Samantha Gail is a time travel story with a very unique twist. A twist that is allowed by iUniverse the publishers but not by many of the others who publish time travel romances. The twist in this novel is that the time travel here takes place though a machine and is not only deliberate but with the purpose of altering the past. Remala Picard-Moreau is a Knight of the Order of Shaynvar and lives in the twenty-second century. She is a guardian of time travel who is ordered on missions through time. Her latest mission is to go back to the year 976AD and rescue a small village from destruction. Beraveal is the King of Birasett, a Viking warrior and a man used to getting exactly what he wants. And what he wants is Remala as his queen. He believes that she has been sent by the Gods to help him and he intends to keep her with him. However Remala is not prepared to abandon the Order of Shaynvar and remain in the past forever. But she is conspired against from all sides and tricked into marriage with Beraveal. I don?t want to spoil the whole plot for those who have not read this book but it is well worth reading just for the answers to some of those time travel questions that no one else seems to want to answer. How much should someone going back in time interfere? Should a time traveller be allowed to take technology from the future back in time? What would happen if there were no limits to how much you can meddle in the past? All these questions and more are dealt with thoughtfully and without detracting from the main story of Remala and Beravael. Reviewed Jan. 2002 - Louisa's Magical Romance Reading Website
