Summary: Delightful Time Trip
Comment: As an author of a time-travel book myself, I'm familiar with the
amazing potential that time travel offers to a story. There is
potential for the speculative application of philosophy, religion, and
science. There is the potential for plot-twists and surprises. There is
also the potential for pure confusion and, as a result, unreadable
stories. Timecross'd accomplishes the first two, and escapes the third,
in an action-packed time adventure that is both fun and exciting. I
recommend it highly.
The story involves the aptly named "loop" -- a time machine which is
the temporal equivalent to the portal in the movie "Stargate" -- which
is used effectively to create "loops" in the plot's timeline. The love
story is always present, though it often takes a back seat as the
characters involved forget their emotions in an effort to focus on
survival. This book has everything from nazis to Shakespeare, however,
and despite what you are looking for in a book, there is a good chance
you will find it here. The only thing that I felt was out of place was
a slightly awkward love scene in pre-history. Overall, the story
progressed rapidly and kept the reader interested in the delightfully
dysfunctional cast.
I also feel that the subtitle and cover detract somewhat from the
quality of the book. I had passed this book up on several occasions
because the cover gave the impression of a romantic comedy. After
seeing that several readers recommended my own book "Out of Place Out
of Time" in addition to Timecross'd, I picked it up and was
delightfully surprised to find a thoughtful and adventurous story that
offers far more.

Summary: Loved this book!
Comment: Not being a hardcore sci-fi reader, I was afraid this one would be over my head or not hold my interest. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! I was drawn in by the characters almost immediately. They were actually realistic! The story was great and I especially enjoyed the narrator's dry humor. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in sci-fi(where the author holds his own quite well without being boring) to romance and just plain good fiction.

Summary: Editor knows best!
Comment: It was a pleasure to work with Sean Thompson on this novel. Timecross'd is a fun, adventure-filled book that contains great humor and nevertheless causes you to stop and think about the choices you make in life and the consequences that can arise from the path you choose.
Timecross'd offers something for every reader: boot-stomping action, drama, love, mystery, philosophy, hard science, history, and more all wrapped up into one neat package! The solid plot will keep you on your toes and turning the pages until late into the night. You don't want to miss this one!
