I'm on the fence about The Refuge: A Time Box Novel. I'll solidify my opinion as I write this review. I've been a long-time reader of John A. Heldt, and like many others, I've been with him since "The Mine" almost eight years ago. It took me a while to get used to his writing style, but after nineteen books, I've decided it's quite musical. It typically consists of two complex sentences followed by a simple sentence, repeated, with descriptors in groups of three. At this point, it's actually ca...

There are a few authors that know how to nail time-travel novels, and John A. Heldt is definitely one of them. His books are clearly well-researched, and his descriptions always make me feel like I'm right there in that time period, experiencing exactly what the Lanes are going through in each novel.In this fourth book in the series, **The Refuge: A Time Box Novel**, the Lanes find themselves in Hawaii, this time chasing their hunter, Silas Bain. However, he has no idea they've followed him, sin...

The Lanes have been running through time for ages. Now, in Hawaii in 1941, they know the horror that awaits. They know Robert's plans, and they know Bain is set to carry them out. Can they stop Bain from altering the trajectory of the Second World War?You know, I was reading other reviews before writing my own and came across one that mentioned perhaps the Lanes should stop calling themselves the Lanes. While I disagree with that review, on the whole, I do wonder why the Lanes keep making the sa...

Another timeless story.*The Refuge: A Time Box Novel* by John A. Heldt is a magnificent time-traveling story. I've read many stories from this author before, and I've really enjoyed all of them. This is another story within the Time Box saga, and each one just gets better and better. This is book four, and though it's not required, I always recommend that the stories be read in order. Again, we have the Lanes, a family of seven, and the travel isn't just an ordinary vacation or a new life, but a...

4.5 stars—"The Refuge: A Time Box Novel" is the fourth installment in John A. Heldt’s adult TIME BOX time travel series, focusing on the Lane family: Mark and Mary, and their children Jordan, Jeremy, Laura, and Ashley. "The Refuge: A Time Box Novel" can be read as a standalone novel, but I recommend reading the series in order, as there is an ongoing premise throughout.
