A Bit Less Fun than the others

but that is only because the setting itself makes the possibility of fun nonexistent. The time of Stalin and Hitler is not a time that you can have fun reading about unless there is something deeply wrong with you.However, the book manages to retain a light tone and avoids the concentration camps in favor of military camps. The dangerous and unpredictable climate (both social and meteorological) is shown adequately for us to remember where we are, but not so heavy handed as to make the book wholly depressing. Well-handled. Steve and Jane's romance is proceeding apace, despite Steve's being a jerk. Feeling jealous over the young Roman soldier, Steve initially decides that he is not going with the team, but he is drawn into the adventure regardless, and it is done seamlessly. The dialogue is getting better, but it is still a bit stilted and unpracticed.Overall, a good read. Recommended for precocious young adults and for adults who want to give their juvenile side something to chew on.Harkius

The time travel team from Mojave Center tries to get MC gov.

This is a noteworthy book for science fiction fans. The Time Travel team from Mojave Center goes back in time to Soviet Russia during World War II to find another component of MC governor.The action is paced well, and the story line is good. Definetely recommended for anyone who enjoys science fiction and history.
