Customer Reviews

A great QL book!

This author has given us a look at Sam and Donna's history, which is a part of Sam's past and his future. The television series addressed this subject only briefly. The author gives us a connection to Donna snd her role in Sam's life. It is a wonderfully written book, well worth the time to read it!

My Favourite QL Novel!

I loved this book - it was just like watching an episode of my all time favourite TV show. The author has caught the essence of Sam and Al. I loved the back history to Sam and Donna's romance. I've read this book several times, which reminds me I must go and read it again!

Read It!!!

Ms. Davis has provided what the true QL fan has yearned for since the TV series introduced Donna - how did that relationship evolve? The series fans, until this book, knew only that Sam had married. I love the 'insider' info & her choice to show that it isn't easy being being Sam. You really must read this!!

Brilliant Piece of Work

This book is amazing. It ranks as one of the best Quantum Leap novels in my opinion. If you like Quantum Leap, you'll love this! For once, it doesn't focus primarily on Sam but gives some inside information on the other people at Project Quantum Leap. Al is absolutely brilliant, having to deal with what's happening in his time but trying to keep it all from Sam. The characters are spot on and it's actually nice to know that Sam isn't always up-beat and goody, goody all the time, he does have a darker side! It's a shame that Quantum Leap novels aren't being done anymore because I think this author would have produced some good ones.

One of the best!

This book has everything I look for in a Quantum Leap novel. It has an interesting and gripping story, with a twist at the end that, even if it may not be entirely new, is still very entertaining. But what I like even better is how the author manages to provide us with a lot of background for the main characters - Sam, Al, and Donna - throughout the book. We really get into their minds and learn more about their relationships and their motivations, with their characterizations all the while in perfect keeping with the characters as we know them from the TV show. And it is written in a style that I find very entertaining, and so captivating that it was difficult for me to put the book down, even at the second reading. All these ingredients put together make this book one of my favorite QL novels.
