Great conclusion to a great trilogy

Chloe and Cheftu are transported from the fabled, sinking Atlantis to the early days of King David of the Hebrews. Separated, they must find each other again. Forced into slavery, Chloe and Cheftu earn respect and eventually their freedom. They join the Hebrews in their forging of a new nation in this exciting book of time travel and history. A very apt conclusion to a very exciting trilogy.

Fantastic!!!

I couldn't wait for the third book in Frank's series to come out as each one seemed better than the last. This one is no exception! 'Sunrise' ties up all the loose ends from the previous novels, clearing up issues I had not understood before. And finally (!) Chloe and Cheftu get through a whole book without questioning each other's love! They are the ultimate love match, destined to be togeter throughout time. The end is left open so Ms. Frank, can we hope for a book 4? Wonderfully researched, I felt like I was there. A great, original take on the characters we think we know so well, from the Bible. Stayed up reading till my eyes were crossing from fatigue, at 5am, but I could not put it down. Please, please give us a sequel. I love these people. Maybe they could go to the New World next? The Aztecs or Incas? Great story.

Another vicarious trip through the Bible, and another winner

Suzanne Frank's wit, and obvious knowledge of Biblical times makes this book a page turner and a story you will long remember. Again we meet our time-travelling pair; Chloe and Cheftu, this time during the moments before Jerusalem becomes King David's Kingdom, and before the conquests of this city begin. In a style that leaves your mouth agape, you are introduced to the characters who WERE the Bible. Ms. Frank not only weaves an original 'You are there', but she continues the special love and devotion between Chloe and Cheftu. This series is a winner, start at the first and work your way through, it's worth the trip!

Her best yet. This series just keeps going up.

I think this is the best of the (three book) series. I look forward to the next. In fact, I can hardly wait. The criticism of the second book was a bit too harsh, but all is mended in this book. History from the inside out: King David takes Jerusalem and our heroine is in the middle, and that is not all by a long shot. Funny, exciting, erotic, spiritual and just plain fun! Don't wait for the paperback, get it now.

Great fantasy time travel

When Dallas resident Chloe Kingsley stepped through the time portal in 1996, all she wanted was to find her missing spouse Cheftu and understand the language of the era. Chloe soon realizes that she landed (loosely put) in the Mediterranean when she is rescued by Philistines who, believing she must be a tail-less mermaid, take her to a temple in Gaza.Meanwhile, Cheftu is also in the same time period, but happens to be in Egypt where he finds himself in trouble by disrespecting the Sun God. However, circumstances and needs soon allow Cheftu to join Chloe as both become vassals to the Hebrew King David. Cheftu finds lost gold while Chloe helps with military strategy. The Hebrews must contend with the evil RaEm, who gained knowledge of the twentieth century when she occupied Chloe's body for two years. Only with Chloe and Cheftu and the powerful Ark of the Covenant does David have any hope to defeat his foe.SUNRISE ON THE MEDITERRANEAN, the latest Chloe-Cheftu ancient historical saga, is an intelligent mixing of biblical characters with modern day time travelers. The action-packed and picturesque story line makes the lands along the Mediterranean seem as if they exist so we can see them for ourselves. The characters appear genuine including those written about in the Old Testament. Awesome Suzanne Frank has written a classic novel that along with its' predecessors (REFLECTION IN THE NILE and SHADOWS ON THE AEGEAN) that fans will enjoy for years to come.Harriet Klausner
