Great series of books, (I've read them all) however the syntax and grammar errors were a bit annoying (got used to them though). Overall i can't wait for the next installment, or any other books by this author. I'd give the books an easy 9 out of 10. :-)

My previous review was in error, I had reviewed Children of Time, not this book. I really enjoyed Codename Athena and am now reading the 4th book of the series (Timelines). Poulin must be french Canadian. the translations are terrible sometimes. For instance it's memories, not souvenirs and Santa goes Ho Ho Ho!, not Oh Oh Oh. If one ignores the bad English they are a great read

I like books about time travel and alternative time lines. I liked this book very much, and I try to read all the books written by this author.

LOVE the series, thus far, and can't wait to read the third book, this weekend! Many people complain about the books needing a good editing, and, while it's true there are a multitude of spelling and grammar-ital errors, they are easy to get past, and doesn't diminish the story, at all.

This book is a very good read. I'm a big history buff and thought this book was accurate on alot of the facts at the begining. There is a few places that I would have left out, but I won't spoil the book for others. I would highly recommend this book, and I would definately love to read more from this author.

too much "Nancy this . . . Nancy that". She's always in a fight with a man and of course the guy loses. She singlehandledly takes charge of WWII and engages in several commando raids where, of course, she is the hero and is awarded several medals each time. The translation is horrible with a few spelling and many english grammar mistakes. I am no english major . . . but even I could tell. I quit halfway thru. I won't bother with any more from this 'author'.

One of the greatest books I lay my eyes on ever! For whole duration of this book I mostly thought of characters that Mr.Poulin described so well rather than about my own work! An absolute "must read" for anyone not just sci-fi lovers. Ending is very abrupt but that is understandable as there are sequels. I really hope those will be as interesting as this book!
Very Well Done Mr.Poulin!

An absolute page-turner, very difficult to set it down. I've lost sleep over this sci-fi novel and its sequel "Adventures through Time". In 2013 comes "Children of Time" - I really can't wait! These novels also help firm up Christian beliefs and behaviors - jammed with solid examples of correct thought. I recommend Michel Poulin's novels to anyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed it and spent more time reading instead of doing my own work! Felt a close bond with the characters and felt the books emotion. Enjoyed it even more than the so called block buster 50 Shades. Can't wait to get my hands on more of his work.

A very imaginative story and plot. It held my interest. An enjoyable read, even though it could have used some editing.

Michel Poulin had my full attention with the first few pages. Writing style and story were wonderful. I found the book impossible to put down. I loved the use of historical figures and events intertwined with sci-fi elements of time travel. I think that the sci-fi fantasy lover as well as those interested in history, in this case WW2 and the hero's and villans of that time period, will find this book well worth the read. I am now starting on the sequel called Adventure Through Time. If there are no additional books to this series, I will seriously explore Michel Poulin's other books, as his writing style and ability to portray not just the main character of his story, but the other characters in such a unique and believable way is a talent within itself. I can't say enough about the talent of this incredible writer.

I enjoyed the story, although the constant lack of grammatical construction was disconcerting. The author has obviously taken some care with historical context as far as characters, ranks, locations, etc. are concerned. This made the anachronism of decimal currency being used in WWII England just a little jarring. Overall, well worth the read.

The first half of the book was very good and had a lot of potential then a 5 year old with a vivid imagination tookover.

Michel Poulin is innovative and interesting. I really an enjoying this book. But, Michel, PLEASE get an English editor! That said, I also enjoyed consulting Wikipedia to find out about aircraft engines, aircraft, tank engines and such. By the way, Nancy was in England too early to have used a Hercules XVII, that engine came in 1944. A fine book and I look forward to the next.

As has been said, the book does need to be thourghly edited but over all it was a good book! Very entertaining, great action sequences, and good details keep you interested from beginning to end!

It's a very fun read, with very good mix of Historical Novel & Science Fiction, also has a huge lack of proofreading and edition, for instance, Nancy's Mitsubishi Outlander is sometimes a Jeep Cherokee??!!!
I understand that is a novel, but the main character is almost a super-girl, she just can't fly in the novel !!!

Although the book was obviously written by a nonnative English speaker, it is engrossing. The lack of proofreading was disconcerting, and the main character needs to be more fully fleshed out.

Long story but couldn't put it down. Not Clive Cussler quality but close. Needs to be proofread for errors and typos. For example, Nancy's Mitsubishi Outlander is a Jeep Cherokee in several chapters.

I found the book well researched with an interesting story and plotline. I liked the way the author interwove the WWII story with the science fiction story. The book could have been helped by a good proofreader to correct some obvious errors and grammar. But overall I enjoyed it.

An Intriguing book, a mixture of WW2 wound into a time travel intervention creates a story that is hard to put down.
