After reading Mr. Tortola's first novel "A Bridge of Time"; I can give future readers one piece of advice... read this on night when you can afford to go to bed in the wee hours. Mr. Tortola, owes me a night of sleep!! I picked up the book hoping to read a chapter or two but ending up turning page after page until I read it in one sitting. (an Amazon post)

Liked the concept but the writing seemed to be aimed at a teenage audience. Probably too much explanation rather than letting the readers imagination fill in the story.
The basic premised was fair enough but too briefly explained right at the end. Characters were a bit 'cardboard'. But, as I actually got to the end, I suppose it must have had something for me.
I loved this book. I'm pretty particular and a book has to be good, well written, and original to capture my interest. This book met all three criteria.
Absolutely stunning book! Read it on "one breath" Very interesting story line. I just wish the story would be longer as I had a feeling that some questions were left unanswered.
Overall score 10 out of 10!
I usually don't like SF stories, but I liked this one. You actually made me belive that time travel is possible, and while reading the book I was imagining what would I do if I was William. Thanks for great, different book.
I enjoyed this book. It was a very nice concept. But I do wish it would have had about one more chapter to wrap things up other than the abrupt ending it had. I would have to agree with one other person about too many exclamation points. They were everywhere and used instead of a period in sentences where they were not supposed to be.
The book was great. Mr. Tortola kept the story flowing even though there were several characters to follow. If you like history and mystery, you will like this book!
It wasn't a bad read, good story idea. Although to give constructive feeback, the writer needs to cut back on the descriptive accounts which I actually started to skip over, especially in the modern day chapters which were 'padded' and rather dull with over-use of exclamation marks etc. The modern characters were pretty much nothing short of irritating but generally it was an interesting concept and not too badly written.
I was not sure to begin with but quickly became absorbed in it, and had to force myself to stop reading in order to eat. A VERY GOOD SCIENCE FANTASY STORY.
