I’m undecided on The Refuge. I’ll make up my mind as I write this review.I’m a long time reader of John Heldt, and like many here I’ve been with him since “The Mine” almost eight years ago. His writing style took a bit of time to get used to and what I’ve decided after nineteen books is it’s very musical. It’s usually two complex sentences followed by a simple sentence, in repetition, with descriptors in groups of three. It’s actually cathartic for me at this point.These are well-researched hist...

There are a few authors that know how to do time-travel novels right, and this is one of them. The books are well researched and the descriptions make me feel like I am in that time period experiencing what the Lane's experience in each novel.In this fourth book in the series, the Lanes end up in Hawaii, and this time they are chasing their hunter, Silas Bain. However, he has no idea that they have followed him since he is in 1941 on a different mission. While I am not fond of Silas, he does sho...

The Lanes have been running through time for a long time. Now In Hawaii in 1941, they know the horror that awaits them. 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 Lane's should stop calling themselves the Lanes. While I disagree with that review, on the whole, I do wonder why the Lanes keep m...

Another timeless storyThe Refuge by John Heldt is a magnificent time-travelling story. I have read many stories from this author before, and I really enjoyed all of them. This is another story within the Time Box saga, and as each one is written, they just get 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, is not just an ordinary vacation or a new life, but in a...

I finally get to review this book! I am on the road on an extended trip and internet has been very sketchy at best. I've actually been sitting at my computer for over an hour waiting to be able to post. Apologies for the poor quality of the cover art, I can't seem to improve it.But enough of my whining.Author John A. Heldt provided me with an e-copy of The Refuge for review. I am a great fan of Mr. Heldt's writing. It's hard to believe this is the 19th book I've read of his.The Refuge continues ...

4.5 stars—THE REFUGE is the fourth instalment 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.
