Like reading a bad new episode

You would think being able to write a pre-existing character and doing it right, knowing what they would or would not say would be easy. But I've read books based on series' where you wonder if the author ever watched the show or read up on the characters or anything before taking the job (My main beef being with the Star Trek Voyager book Homecoming. Could barely get through the first few chapters. Truly aweful) But there are those, like the DS9 relaunch series of books and this book that truly capture the essence of the characters and you can picture them very vividly as they say their lines; as if you were watching it as a brand new episode, after all these years. **(Spoilers)** I gotta say, the ending was bitter-sweat. I would have preffered Terressa ending up working for the project, especially with them making a big deal about being this genius, akin to Sam. Sure, it would have had shades of Sami-Jo Fuller working for the project, but that just plays into the other coincidences and similarities with other leaps. For some reason, I would have liked to have seen more happen with George; him being drugged and found passed out seemed, somehow, anti-climactic. All and all, though, it was really well written. And I loved the running gag of Sam never getting to eat. You never really think about it and in a television show, seeing them eat or perform any other necessary vital functions (like sleeping; we never saw Sam have any down time in the show) and the author worked it in well and made it very real.

I love this book

This book was wonderful. I really liked the episode and the fact that there was this wonderfully written sequal...There is too much to say and so little room. It's very inspirational.

Angelically Written...

Although this book may seem a little slow and boring at first, keep reading! If you remember the Quantum Leap episode "Another Mother" and it touched you, this book will do the same, as it is a continuation of Al's promise to a little girl that someday, he'll come back to her. It has everything in it, from suspense to comedy, while still maintaining the important elements of a good Quantum Leap Novel. This book would make an excellent movie. Don't miss out!

IT'S GRRRREAT!

A great book that included some old favorites from the TV series. Storm did an excellent job with all the stories that were going on at once. A Must-Read book for all QL fans.

It's a Wonderful Book

This was the best QL book that I have read so far-I loved the story, and the author showed an expertise with staying true to the series that is always appreciated by fans. A definite must-read for QL fans and anyone who loves a good story-even if you haven't seen a single QL episode. Ms. Storm is very adept at filling in details without beating you over the head with them, so the non-fan will understand what is going on, and the rest of us can just sit back and remember the series without getting bored!
