The Refuge by John A. HeldtMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The modern family of seven people who had stolen two time boxes, the Lanes, decide to take a stand against the unhinged software mogul who wants to get them back. So they travel to 1941 and head for Oahu to try to eliminate the mercenary employed by the billionaire who has worked as an assassin and is chasing them through time. The eldest son Jordan was an intelligence officer and is trying to stalk their foe through the streets of Honolulu while the rest of the family (including his pregnant wife) settle in the village of Laie where love, friendship and opportunity await. Hitman Silas Bain has his own agenda as he wants to alter the events of 7th December 1941 and indirectly save a brilliant German physicist who is his employer's grandfather from certain death. However, he encounters the one contingency that he did not prepare for - a beautiful heiress.
This was certainly a packed instalment in the series that was set in Hawaii just before the fateful events in Pearl Harbour. As always, it was carefully researched and written in order to fit in with history as it happened (and was remembered). Carefully crafted into this were stories of romance, love and plenty of intrigue and suspense as we lived life through the events surrounding characters in this book. I was thrilled to see that Randy finally made a commitment to Laura as they definitely belonged together. Well written and easy to read and understand. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter in the story and wondering is that the last one and good finally conquers or will there be more twists and turns than we have already experienced so far.
