My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Two years after stealing the portable time machines from his deranged billionaire business partner Robert Devereaux the Lane family have arrived in 1963 and they have settled in Coronado in California. The three oldest children (Jordan, Jeremy and Laura) have some respite so that they can nurture their own relationships and start their families while putting down roots. The youngest Askley can thrive and be a typical fourteen-year-old for the time in high school. While there she finds popularity and romance after a classmate nominates her for freshman homecoming princess. Mark Lane's old business partner is still determined to get the time machines back and has sent hit man Silas Baines after the family. Can the family survive what is likely to prove the final confrontation and will Randy's careful preparation to sink Robert finally come to fruition?
I found it bittersweet to read this final instalment of the time box series. It was wonderful to once again read all about the family and their exploits (this time in 1963 around the time of the Kennedy assassination) and to finally get a conclusion to the multi historic year hunt for the family and the determination of hitman Silas Baines. Although they appeared to have tied up all the loose ends I do now wonder if any of them had to serve in Vietnam, what happened to Ashley - did she get to college, what did she study, did she end up with their neighbour for example. However, I did love the way that Robert and Silas were handled and their demise. Well written so that everything eas clear and easy to understand plus I felt as if I was living it. I love the way that this author meticulously researches each time that the series is set and I'm sure anyone who actually lived through 1963 would be able to relate to this book very well. I think you could read this stand-alone but really would get the best enjoyment if you read the series from the start.
