I've always loved stories about time-travel.  Something about the idea of travelling through time really fires my imagination.  I've had the pleasure of reading some well-written stories along this theme lately, and this book is definitely among them. To be honest the story starts a little slow.  I was just starting to wonder if this book was really for me.  Then the inciting moment happened and from that moment, the book became a joy to read.  Deborah Truscott clearly had a lot of fun writing this story of a British soldier from the 17th century who suddenly finds himself thrust into the 21st century.  As a Brit myself, I especially enjoyed his reaction on hearing that America had won the war of Independence and his refusal to see the Revolution as anything more than a rebellion.  The story zips along to a very satisfying conclusion. This book is a must-read for time-travel fans.
