Hate to see the series end. Great look into historic times

The Time Scout series was a nice mix of serious (90%) and fun (10%).

An interesting book that differs quite a bit from some of Asprin's other work. It was a good read.

A continuation of Ripping Time that drags at times but picks up at the end. Written to allow for more sequels that we will never read due to the premature passing of Mr. Asprin. Not a book that should be read without first reading Time Scout, Wagers of Sin and Ripping Time. By far not my favorite series by this author.

Oh drat. When I first read this book, I loved it. I gave it four stars for creativity, characters and plot. I liked the way the authors interwove the facts of the Jack the Ripper case with the events happening to the characters in the book. I loved the steampunk aspects of the entire series. I even understood why the authors found it necessary to invent a whole new character to pin the murders on.What I do NOT understand is why the authors made a huge historical error (by neglecting one tiny pie...
