Mr. Tortola... You owe me!

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.The plot gently intrigues the reader right from the beginiing with a lavish but brief opening.... a simple picnic in some unspecified period of time. A natural stone bridge, an uncle, a baby, and then an enigma... soon Mr. Tortola leads us in a world where time skips back and forth seamlessly.His characters are easy to empathize with as he develops them effortlessly and quite sincerely. The storyline... simple on the surface quickly has the reader following several sub-plots of love, ambition, human emotion and down-right intrigue.This book would definitely appeal to science fiction lovers but strangely enough also would do well for those with a love of mystery novels. It also would do nicely for those that require a few hours of escape from the everyday craziness of the modern world.The novel reminds us how intertwined our current fate is with that of our ancestors and how even through a fantasy fiction window life and living in the present with our loved ones is the most important aspect of our lives. Mr. Tortola definitely has a promising career if his first effort is any indication of his talent. On the whole an enjoyable experience even if it left me a bit tired the next day.I look forward to more from this author.

Couldn't Put it Down!

This is a tremendous first novel for Tortola...full of amazing ideas that drive the story. I read the whole thing in about five hours and recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, enjoyable fantasy. The pages fly by!

A Fascinating Novel!!!

This novel is a must read!! Even when I wasn't reading the book, I found that I often thought about the characters and couldn't wait to get back to reading it again. Mr Tortola has created a novel of epic quality that successfully blends mystery, romance, time travel and human relations together in an artful and compelling manner. Escape into the mysterious worlds Mr Tortola creates in this gripping new fiction release. But be careful, this novel is so absorbing you may read it in one sitting!

Outstanding

Lou Tortola's novel is an outstanding first effort with the depth and imagination of a well versed author! Extraodinary story line, realistic characters and a plot that keeps you wanting to turn to the final page.Looking forward to his next book.

captivating

What a captivating story with equally captivating characters. The story line captures the reader, and the reader feels as if they actually know the characters. The only disappointment was that the novel had to end. I looked forward to going home each evening to spend time with the characters and to continue the adventure.The day after I finished the novel I realized that going home that evening would be like going home to find that a close friend or dear relative who had been visiting had left and would not be there when I got home. I hope that there is a sequel.This is a thoroughly entertaining, and enjoyable novel. Most readers will be unable to put the book down until they have finished it. I would have been one of them, had my busy life allowed me the time.
